just to let you know, this song (among others like Lord Randal, Barbara Allen, etc.) are featured in a new film called "Songcatcher," about a musicologist in the early 1900s who goes to Appalachia for a visit and discovers the mountain people know a whole lotta songs from the Scots-Irish-English traditional canon, and have out their own spin on them...

pretty good movie, except for the syrupy soundtrack that inexplicably does not utilize the very folk music the film purports to be celebrating...

Aidan Quinn is his usual yummy self as a gritty-but-sensitive bango-player...

Iris DeMent also appears, and sings a lovely song...
