I’ve been singing this song for more than twenty years, on my own. I found it in a book and while I can’t recall the title of the book, I can remember the feel of the dark blue cover in my hands.
Recently we added it to the Ominous Folk repertoire. This was very much for the purpose of singing it at Woodchester Mansion. We are stood a matter of yards from where the ravens nest in one of the big estate trees. I sang it for them.

Thank you, this gives me an idea of what a folk ballad actually sounds like! And may I say I found James’s costume enthralling? Well done all! 👏🏻

Thank you! James has all the best kit! The rest of us are going to have to up our game 🙂
