In "The Essential EM Song Book"
2001 Peggy Seeger
it has
"But I have my freedom on Sunday"
'c' 1978 Ewan MacColl, Ltd
with an explanation about why he changed it from
"I am a free man..."

Though I rarely hear anyone sing "my freedom"


~~~~~~~~~~~
also
"The things that he said were unpleasant;
In the teeth of his fury I said,
"Sooner than part from the mountains..." "

"And the blue of her eye mocked the June moorland sky,
And I wooed her..."

"... , the clear running fountains
Where the grey rocks rise rugged and steep."
