Thread Name: a folk song with lots of incarnations
Subject: RE: a folk song with lots of incarnations
The gallows pole. I like the idea of there being a Led Zeppelin version.
They got it from Leadbelly: Leadbelly: Gallis Pole
The website with the curious name of 'Mainly Norfolk' is very useful if you want to know about different recordings of a particular folk song. For example:
Mainly Norfolk: Maid Freed from the Gallows
There doesn't seem to be an orchestral arrangement of that song, which is a pity - it ticks plenty of other boxes.
