Dunno what CD he recorded it on, but Dick Gaughan recorded it on "Handful of Earth". Hope that helps! You'll find the lyrics and a midi file in the DT here. |

I can see now that they probably took their name from this much earlier English group, never mentioned in any history text I encountered here in the US (at least, not as far as I rememeber). |
