Excellent version, Jens - very soulful. Not really how Bert played it, but none the worse for that and a nice little lick in between the verses. People seeking Bert's own arrangement can find it on the long out of print Doug Kennedy book - The Songs and Guitar Solos of Bert Jansch (Doug basically had Bert sit down in front or him and play aboout 10 of his best songs over and over!) or on Bert Transcribed from the Bert Jansch Foundation. Both these transcriptions are very exact. Jens isn't, but he captures the spirit of the song and Bert's playing extremely well.

Thank you Robert- I know it’s not exactly like Bert Jansch played it. :-)

@@singanddanceman No, but, as I say, you have the spirit of the song very well. I've played Bert's version for many years, but I'm going to add that lick I mentioned that you do between the verses.
