Go to agree - the structure of this one is fantastic. I'm not sure about 'these old songs'. I was in a folk club tonight wishing somebody had left one gem in the library. i was thinking surely to God - nobody ever enjoyed that

I think the real trouble I have is with songs written to sound like the really awful old ones - in the tradition, that sort of thing.

The chord changes here though are quite exquisite. As I play DADGAD in a fairly instinctive way - I don't know the names of the chords.

Another thing is, it seems to me that was very definitely written by a writer. theres none of this gobbledegook and metrical putty that you get in many 'folksongs'. Where you're thinking I've heard that verse somewhere before - and you have - in half a dozen other folksongs. In other words, there has been a writer - a presiding creative genius - who has put his vision down.

Anyway, whatever turns you on, I guess!
