Yes there are lots and lots of biblical deleted scenes, from a whole load of "non canonical" gospels that didn't make it into the official version of the bible. Even some of our classic Christian tropes like Mary on the donkey, and the ox and the ass in the nativity scene cone from these 'apocryphal' gospels! The Jesus that these gospels show is far from the meek and mild character we have become accustomed to! And folk lore perpetuated many of these deleted scenes, as here. Catherine Nixey's excellent book "Heresy" is a great source of info.

Different, creative and superbly done. R.

Beautiful! I’m a beginner just working on learning this song.

Thankyou for this - first saw Martin at newcastle folk club in the 1980s - I was blown away then - still great to hear him

I love this version. His voice is frail with age, but it suits this song; like these old recordings of collected folk songs he mentions.

So he's saying the woman wrote the arrangement - who was the woman, was it Norma?

I prefer the Simon and Garfunkel version

I could listen to Martin talk about this song all day. At some point in the future, people will say that our generation were lucky to have lived in the same time as these legends of the folk revival. If you look at the way the music industry has progressed over the last ten years, i doubt it'll happen again. Martin is playing a very different arrangement, full of feeling. Very powerful, giving a voice to history and folklore. Remarkable performance.

Oh my jeebus-how I do love--and always have--the mighty, magisterial martin! He's 82 now and Norma-less, but he's mellowed like a fine Amontillado. Those hands . . .I never missed him when he came to my home town and never missed a chance to pester him to perform "The Unfortunate Tailor." I weep at the thought of a world without him😢. May he live on and on 😂 Yes--I am an unabashed fanboy. .

Beautiful ❤❤❤

Must be 60 years since Martin taught this song (his version) to Bob Dylan and Paul Simon. This version is slightly different I think, perhaps the Cecil Sharp House version that he discusses.

Hired him years ago he spent two thirds of the gig talking and tuning and played about 4 songs 😮

A nice version... But no need for a 4 minute intro..😊

I just shared this with my lass wrapped in her comforter yet asleep. Good morning…

I think he needs to stop now bless him . . .

Martin is a National Treasure. OK the whole family are!

You talk too much Marty , just play n sing there you go 😊

One of the best concerts I ever saw was her and Ewan MacColl, back in the '80s.

That’s fascinating to hear this manner of songwriting! Kinda brilliant! What a treasure Peggy is! I love folk music!

Brilliant. I was at this gig - she absolutely fills the room with genius.

Very nice

Ok, really? This is set to have an ad interrupt it right in the middle?? Good bye.

Rhian in the shadows! Not for long. X

Thanks so much for posting

Outstanding. Real June Tabor vibes.

Fabulous

This is phenomenal!!! It deserves so many more likes - Come on people!! This is pure talent, the likes of which are almost impossible to find.

Well done. Beautiful music.

Lovely

Hell yea thank you for putting this up

Wow, singing parts this dissonant takes some seriously good hearing and some serious skill. Wonderfully done, girls! And everyone else. The best thing I've heard in months.

One of the few video's that she looks up makes eye contact and smiles. I loved that as much as the music. Keep smiling Muireann.

Goblin Band joins centuries of musicians creating a worthy rendition to keep this song alive for another 500 years.

Can u play misty for me pumpkin

Wow Praying goblin band puts this on Bandcamp

Great rendition. I have been on this earth for 74 years, seen this ballad in print several times but never heard anyone actually sing it before. Like the Jews Daughter of Islington, the story is so distasteful that few singers will sing it. I am glad that you did because it says a lot about the social history of the time it refers to. Very interesting. The withy is a pagan reference, not sure of "Sweet Jesus" murdering his bullies. Maybe a comment on the class system- those with wealth and privilege abusing those with less? Not a Christian but it reminds me of the bible story of Christ attacking the moneylenders in the temple at Jerusalem.

Speechless, lovely. 💖

Beautiful restrained arrangement and playing

holy wow i just discovered gwenifer today, she is surely at least partly possessed by the spirit of john fahey. just perfectly captured versions, amazing!

Timeless

Unique and beautiful! You have a brilliant music life ahead of you young lady! Rock on! xxoo

Superb !

Where is Martin based now?

very nice

I've been teaching this song for 50 years. I learned it from Utah Phillips who told me it was from Blind Lemon Jefferson, but he also told me it was endemic so found all over the south. This girl does a great job with it. Oakland CA

I saw Martin perform this a couple of weeks ago in Durham. He is the Mighty Oak of Folk. Incredible musician, storyteller, and a wonderful, humble gentleman. Eliza follows her parent's footsteps with passion, love and pride.

this girl can throttle all hell out of a guitar...brilliant talent
