Beautiful ❤

I was nineteen when I came to town They called in the Summer of Love They were burningbabies, burning flags The Hawks against the Doves I took a job in the STeamie Down on Cauldrum Street I fell in love with a laundry girl Was working next to me She was a rare thing Fine as a beeswing So fine a breath of wind might blow her away She was a lost child She was running wild, she said As long as there's no price on love, I'll stay And you wouldn't want me any other way Brown hair zig-zag round her face And a look of half-surprise Like a fox caught in the headlights There was an animal in her eyes She said, young man, O can't you see I'm not the factory kind If you don't take me out of here I'll surely lose my miind She was a rare thing Fine as a beeswing So fine a breath of wind might blow her away She was a lost child She was running wild, she said As long as there's no price on love, I'll stay And you wouldn't want me any other way We busked around the market towns And picked fruit down in Kent And we could tinker lamps and pots And knives wherever we went And I said that we might settle down Get a few acres dug Fire burning in the hearth And babies on the rug She said O man, you foolish man It surely sounds like hell You might be lord of half the world You'll not own me as well She was a rare thing Fine as a beeswing So fine a breath of wind might blow her away She was a lost child She was running wild, she said As long as there's no price on love, I'll stay And you wouldn't want me any other way We was camping down the Gower one time The work was pretty good She thought we shouldn't wait for frost And I thought maybe we should We were drinking more in those days And tempers reached a pitch Like a fool I let her run With the rambling itch Last I hear she's sleeping out Back on Derby beat White Horse in her hip pocket And a wolfhound at her feet And they say she even marriend once A man named Romany Brown But even a Gypsy caravan Was too much settliing down And they say her flower is faded now Hard weather and hard booze But maybe that's just hte price you pay For the chains you refuse She was a rare thing Fine as a beeswing And I missher more than ever words could say If I could just taste All of her wildness now If I could hold her in my arms today Then I wouldn't want her any other way

Nice interpretation possibly a bit too slow, Mad Dog Mcrea’s cover stands out as the best cover version of this wonderful tune.

Adore this song wish there was a downloadable version 🤍

he's engaged

Paolo always puts me in a happy place

Richard Thompson wrote a perfectly beautiful song. Paolo gave it heart.

I don’t really understand why people have a hard time understanding what the guys are saying. They’re talking in English. It’s just in a Scottish accent.

Wow never noticed the time signature in Mountains before

The best recording of Paolo Nutini's version I've heard. Perfect 🐝

baby marsicans! why does James still look kinda the same though

Meh...shite compared to Richard Thompson

a brilliant story, sung beautifully. Emotions hit a high around 3:10 mins but you have to listen to the whole song to appreciate it

Ed Sheeran with LOVE. <3 I really love his songs. :)

Emma Macnay is by far the greatest director ever, almost good as the great George Lucas aka Arriva bus driver

Evian from your heart... sooo he wants to lick her heart? lol

Amazing! The style is congruent with the feel of the song. Well done. :)

This is fantastic but the original is just that bit better. :)

I looove how they cut off the music just as Ben clicks his fingers around... 5:13

Can't believe it! What an amazing cover of this amazing song.
