I learned it from the Anne Briggs version, which is an unaccompanied vocal
Also nice! I did not encounter that one till much later, along with A. L. Lloyd.
There’s also an interesting version (with a few lyrical differences) on Jah Wobble’s English Roots Music album
That one (the link was glitched, but thanks to your information provided I found it) I hadn't heard! Thank you.
[edit] I chose it as a username in the days of LJ both because I had loved the song since high school and because it has the virtue of being a variation on my own name.
