😢 my grandaddy used to sing this song to me as a kid his version was a little different

You sound so English when you sing.

I love this. Have since posted. Listening now on a nice stereo. You have an amazing, beautiful voice. Thanks!

Thank you for this informative video! what is your suggestion for a sett for linen 4000yds/lb. 2 ply? I prefer linen towels on a denser sett.

Hi Melissa, not to be disrespectful but I think you're a very good looking woman! Hope to hear you sing again soon

This song popped into my head randomly and a RUclips search pulled this video. Nice rendition! I worked the Ren Faire circuit for years and never heard this song during that time. I guess because Faires are usually held in the summer.

Wonderful voice and performance!

Nice song!😊❤🎵

What make of Temple is that? I can only find the wooden ones by Leclerc.

One of my favorites. I first heard the great Jean Redpath sing it. In my genealogical research, I have seen whole communities gutted by our Civil War, and the effects on my own family were profound. Songs that explore the aftermath of war are important to keep and share.

Lovely... I am sure W S Gilbert would have approved.

Thank you. Every word as clear as a bell. What a shame we never learn from the bloodshed of war.

This song takes me back to my childhood. My Grandpa used to sing it to me . Thank you for making this video 😊

Great version thanks 🙏

well done

Is that a Baby Wolf you're weaving on? If so, how do you like the texsolv heddles? I was under the impression that texsolv heddles were not recommended on Schacht looms. Help? And thanks!

Are you still making songs?:)

Plz stop

Great singing!.....When you say, "song 267" are you referring to some kind of songbook?

Thanks so much. Have been looking for this song for almost 60 years. A lady sang it for me enough times that I could notate it for her. Then I had to move far away and never heard the song again. Lovely voice and beautifully sung, thanks.

Bravo 💚 I love that song! Great rendition!

lovely

Thank you for helping keep the tradition alive. Yours is a wonderful rendition of a song I've known for 50 years.

Yet another variation on a well-known theme. I wonder how many others are out there. Thanks for posting it.

Wow. One of of my favorite songs. Well done!

Beautiful..I've gone through a lot of your songs..There is one you should try sometime.."My Bonny Blue Eyed Nancy / Lassie"...I think you may like it. It's hundreds of years old..Some say it's from Scotland ..others say it's Irish..

A song I've loved for a long long time..It was a hit in Ireland for a guy called Johnny McEvoy over 50 years ago...Yes I know I'm now part of "the Antique Road Show"...we are such stuff as dreams are made of and our little life is rounded with a sleep...The song reminds me of a special person in my life way back when.. Difficult enough to sing..You did well

A long standing favourite...Lovely

Lovely....

This one sounds familiar. Recorded by an Irish Group called Planxty 40 years ago...Nice Acapella version..

Beautiful... Don't remember hearing this one before..

This is so cute ❤️

do you still offer this course?

Such clarity of voice in a song of melancholy and mystery.

Thank you for singing this beautiful song.

Excellent! Been looking for a good version to teach to the Redcoat Soldiers for Re-enactments. We used to sing it as part of our Victorian Street Theatre Group! Thank you!

I can't see any advantage in this version over the original of the Carter Family .

Hey! I’m part Irish and Scottish! And I enjoy

I like the forays into minor key.

One of my favorites from Tony and John! :-)

I'm happy to find this among your collection! My only exposure to "Poverty Knock" was in a late-night song sharing session back around 1992, and because I was looking at the backs of their heads I couldn't tell if it was Dave Parry or David Jones singing. I later found Dave Parry in an online forum and asked him about the lyrics, but he said it wasn't part of his repertoire (not that that has stopped people from spouting songs at 2am after enough booze), so it must have been Jones, who to me is less approachable. For years I thought it was a Peter Bellamy song, but it turns out it was just a favorite of his and the tune for another song that he did write was accidental plagiarism. "Poverty Knock" was a perennial favorite in British folk clubs in the 1960s and '70s, but few Americans are familiar with it. It is generally credited to a former mill worker named Tom Daniels, who with the help of a Mrs. Fawthrop or Fawthrope "preserved and reconstructed" what they remembered the Poverty Knocker women singing. A few fragments of the Poverty Knockers' verses can probably be found if one is diligent and determined, but for the most part they've been muddled with Daniels' version. If you haven't found it already, there's an interesting conversation about it on mudcat dot org, containing at least one reference to a barely-remembered alternate version.

Love this! I was expecting The Dreadful Ghost, or the Lover's Ghost (first line: My William sailed on board a tender). I've not heard this one.

The version you learned is very close to the one I learned from Lou Killen, who probably got hers from AL Lloyd. The melody is basically the same, the wording a little more vernacular. If I can find or record it I'll post a link, in case you're interested.

Outstanding!! One of the better covers I've heard

I've been trying to find this version in RUclips for ages!

Goosebumps...I really enjoyed it..

I looked for this just wondering if there was a recording of it. We used to sing it at Primary school - along with other old folk songs - in the East End of London in the 1950s. A lovely rendition

Very beautiful singing!

I love this ballad. It has always spoken to me so powerfully. I feel it all so clearly and the pictures in my mind are so real. I hear the noises and smell the smells as well. Like something out of a former live. You have a wonderful voice. Like a bell so clear, like an angel. <3 Huggs from Rose-Cottage, Schurwald Forest, Germany.

Love this video by the way what loom are you using?
