Just so you know -- this band, Cordelia's Dad, has a personal meaning to me. The lead singer is Tim Eriksen, the man who taught me to sing shape-notes when I was in college. The harmony singer/dulcimer player is Cath Oss, and the bodhran player is Peter Irvine, both of whom also sang in that group. The fiddler is Laura Risk, who will be fiddling at the Chicago New Year's Ball in January. This song is one of my favorites. The words are old, but I have a sneaking suspicion that Tim wrote the tune.
