I only know of two recordings by him, an instrumental version on his and Wu Man's 1995 album Music for the Motherless Child, and accompanied singing on his 2001 album The Bramble Briar (plus reissues of this on a few anthologies). |

It opens with Martin Simpson's performance from his album "The Bramble Briar", but this is with guitar accompaniment. There are, of course, renditions from several other performers excerpted as well. The podcast closes with Nick Hart singing the song complete, a capella. |
