I have been singing a version of this great song for a short while. It is a beautiful song. I have heard Bill Staines version and seen the DT listings. I have even tried creating a thread to find out more about the song, but not gained any real insights, yet.

Who knows where the song originated? There are apparently several versions around. Is there reason to believe there was a real Peter? Was there an author who began this story? Who sings it today? The song has such a haunting melody, and lends itself beautifully to a deep dropped D round sound. I can't seem to stop playing off its melody! Any thoughts?
