Does anyone know anything about the version of "The Wife of Usher's Well" that Martin Carthy sings on his "Signs of Life" album? I want to learn this song and have been comparing various versions. The Carthy version is more modern - no words like "sheugh" and "channering", but definitely sounds trad. The version on "Signs of Life" has some verses that don't appear in Child #79 or DigiTrad, and I would be interested to know Mr. Carthy's sources, or if he wrote any of the verses himself.

Thanks

Edmund
