Yup, Ian et al, them's the words. Tho I know it by the title: "The Damsel's Lament". First "folk song" I ever heard in live performance (at the Unicorn Cafe, in Milwaukee, in the fall of 1959). Sung by a sweet voiced young woman in a blue flower print dress, a Martin D-28 in her arms. I can still see her standing in the single spot. Dang she was the prettiest woman I have ever seen. I still sing that song and see her when I do.
