A fantastic song, I agree.

I've got a version -lyrics as above given by Welsh singer Siwsann George- done by Jeffrey Shurtleff. He was a begin 1970s protégé of Joan Baez (they were at Woodstock) and made one album of his own (as far as I know) on which he does some magnificent covers of Paul Siebel, John Prine etc. And also Miner's Life. A great, moving version.
