Well, I've learned a new verse today. This is the most beautiful song. Thank you Ewan for touching my imagination with this song since childhood.

This just may be my favorite folk song. I tried to learn it; but either it's out of my voice range, or it's just a lot more complicated than it sounds. I couldn't learn it. -- It reminds me so much of my late wife, Sally Jo Davis, with whom I had a folk duo. We used to listen to it on a tape, in the car. Back in the day....

E. R. Bowles try a capo then you can play the chords but in a key that suits your voice

So much easier said than done. I struggle with the lower notes, too, but to take it higher takes me out of range at the top end, and I have a good range.

Same album was issued with a different cover... orange if I remember. With a photo of Ewan and Peggy in the center. Are these the same recordings? They sound perhaps... different.
