Bert Jansch does the traditional song, from his 1982 album "Heartbreak." Albert Lee on electric guitar, Jennifer Warnes on backing vocals. I hold no copyrights, etc. This is just a great song. Buy music by Bert or anybody.

Welcome to the club! :-) Bert Jansch may never have become a household name for the masses but he was always highly respected, sometimes almost worshipped by other musicians. Neil Young went as far as saying Jansch was as important to the acoustic guitar as Jimi Hendix was to the electric and as somebody else has hinted at here, Jimmy Page "borrowed" as much from Jansch as he did from the old American blues masters.

Same! And add to that, Johnny Marr of The Smiths is also a big proponent of his, luckily getting to play with him a few times. Bert’s a treasure. I’m so glad that I got to hear and enjoy him while I’m still on Earth.

i was wondering why this tune was sounding so damn great and really like a rock, a rolling down it's imaginary brea and then i noticed Bert's sideman was, but none other than the legendary Albert Lee of Emmylou Harris fame and others. his backing is so very subtle and clever it takes it to another level to my ear. not to say that Bert is not of even greater, a musician. but his is of a different flavour, British folk. this tune has all the hallmarks of a great country rock song in some ways, is it because of Albert.
