correct,but the lyrics and tune are SAME AS Kennedys.
Peter Kennedy bootlegged a recording from Folk on Two[bbc radio]and sold cassettes[totally illegaly] without my or Greenwich Village or the BBC S Permission.
Kennedy had no right to make money from our arrangement.
the version I sang had Jez Lowe playing guitar[double drop d tuning] and bass clarinet by SueMiles[ now Weir]
Alan Ashwell used to play it in Dadgad[Ithink].
just for the record in case, anyone thinks I am a Carthy copyist,Irecorded it in 1981,long before Martin Carthy sang it.
I normally sing it unaccompanied .Dick Miles
