Sad that I'll never hear that warm honey toned voice live again. But you gave us some really special moments

A great ballad.. Originally sourced from an Irish Travelling Man... Beautiful voice..R.I.P lovely lady.

[@sandramorey2529]

The Waterson/Carthy's do a splendid job with Ewan MacCall and Peggy Seeger's song and Nora intros it with the reverence for oral tradition that it deserves. It is very appropriate for right now.

Beautiful lady Norma Waterson RIP lovely lady

What an incredible quality in her voice. I had the blessed good fortune to hear them sing together in a small cabin , close up. It’s something one will never forget.

[@felixdunkel2091]

People are really generous to that voice.

[@stoppopulisme9598]

What a voice !!!!

[@gaspode18]

@toftmf It's from the radio ballad 'The Travelling People' which is about the history and culture of Gypsies.

[@silencedbart]

just amazed by the voice... I just think it is a pitty that you should come across by such a lovely voice and great songs only by accident... You always find the music you love by accident.. :S

the best way of finding good music is by boycotting maintsream radio

[@secondchancesinger]

Written by Ewan MacColl and Peggy Seeger. Ewan MacColl writes such songs as a middle class man populating his songs with working class phrases to gain credibility in an artificial and phony way. This is not the stuff of good poetry. Nevertheless it is very well sung.

oral history, not oral artefacts

[@janekelton]

Easy to say, but plenty of people of Travelling and English Romani people sing this song, and if they think it's good enough, it's good enough for me. The song carries on regardless.

[@rickburke7167]

Ewan MacColl was born Jimmy Miller in Salford, an industrial area called " the classic slum " by Karl Marx, to a steelworker and a cleaner. He grew up during the depression and was a member of the Young Communists as many thinking people were until Hungary. His life was more comfortable later but he wasn`t middle class and he wrote of situations and people he knew.
