Thanks Amos, you beat me to it!

Mary couldn't find a good tune for it and adapted this one from another song in an Appalachian ballad collection. Her version of the words is also pieced together from several sources and condensed to make the story succinct enough but without losing the magic and drama.

I expect she'll be here shortly to correct me or add to that.

The version on our web site is only available in Ogg Vorbis format. That's a deliberate incentive to spread the use of free (as in unrestricted by patent licencing, in this case) software.

The "demo" tracks are also available as MP3's.
