Tony Rees Origins: Jesus Met Woman at the Well/Maid & Palmer (84* d) RE: Origins: Jesus Met Woman at the Well/Maid & Palmer 23 Feb 22


Yes, Brass Monkey's version is based on the words given by Child with a few modifications of their own ... Martin Carthy and John Kirkpatrick (of Brass Monkey) had previously performed the same song/version with a late incarnation of Steeleye Span... More info at https://mainlynorfolk.info/steeleye.span/songs/themaidandthepalmer.html.

BTW I have added a bit more info over the past couple of days regarding the history and content of the ballad to the Wikipedia page at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Maid_and_the_Palmer if anyone is interested...

Regards - Tony
