about

Probably my favourite traditional tune. My arrangement in CGCGCD is like a summing up of all the wonderful versions I had been listening to in researching this tune, but especially Sinead O’Connor. I’m not sure what die hard traditionalists will make of my guitar solo in the middle, like the great composer Vaughan Williams in describing his 4th symphony- “I don’t know whether I like it, but its what I meant”- I feel it suits the rather ambiguous story. Many commentators claim that there is a verse missing- we never find out why one of the lovers dies and appears as a ghost in the last verse.
