Thread Name: Origins: I Know You Rider
Subject: RE: Origins: I Know You Rider
I've been working on I Know You Rider quite recently. My first knowledge of it was John Renbourn's version.
I've been using Martin Carthy's guitar tuning that he uses for Famous Flower of Serving Men (DGCGCD). Also I move the the third line up to the second, and repeat the first line. I think it works quite well. I'll put a version o the website and put the URL on here - soon as I can.
Its a great lyric and repays your attention many times. I can see we all owe Bob Coltman, the Lomaxes and the original authoress a great debt.
