Would love to hear this performed by Simon & Garfunkel, or by FF but with some vocal harmony, I'd MELT.

Bela Fleck and the flecktones take on this melody in Big Country. when I first heared this song, I thought FF were influeced by that wonderful piece, now I realise it's an old folk song, and remember how bela fleck said that when he came up with the melodie he had to call himself and play it on his machine so to not let it dissapear for good. hmmm. help.

Semantics. A traditional song is a song that's been covered for so long no one remembers who originally wrote it.

Steeleye Span did a version of this song that's a lot more rollicking and upbeat on their album Please to See the King. Tim Hart and Maddy Prior, the vocalists from Steeleye Span, also did a version that's a very similar arrangement to the Fleet Foxes version on their album Summer Solstice.
