Cordelia's Dad - Gypsy Davy
Wanted to share this version of Child #200 by Cordelia's Dad (#1 warlock Tim Eriksen's folk punk band), which often stands out to me- it ends more happily than many variants, but also there's something about the line "if i brew good beer i'll drink the same, and you'll no more come near me" that always surprises and pleases me. It rolls off the toungue pleasantly, but also I like how it instantly humanizes our honored lady- she has skills (brewing)! She drinks, probably to excess! It points to her relationship with her lord being strained outside of her preference for Davy! Anyhow, enjoy.
"Gypsy Davy" by Woody Guthrie (1944).

Sandy Denny & Fotheringay - Gypsy Davy (Child #200)
hell yes. Boyd and others writing about this time and genre of British music can be a little harsh on Fotheringay, but this is just rockin.
