This ballad is also frequently referred to as "The Trees They Grow High", from the first line of the first verse. I've sung it for many years--about forty, in fact--from the singing of either Ewan McColl or A.L. Lloyd (can't remember which of them sang this song) in a set of LPs they did called "The English and Scottish Popular Ballads". I would have sworn, from memory, that this was issued by Folkways, but Smithsonian-Folkways has only a set of CDs with that title including songs sung by Ewan McColl, no A.L. Lloyd.
