Norma Waterson's voice has made me breathless for all the years I've listened to her. She's a powerhouse, and her interpretation is gorgeous. She finds such obscure material, too! The melody for this version floats around in my head and surfaces every few months. It's beautiful. I've always seen the House or Ship's Carpenter theme from the girl's perspective, but poor Polly sure sounds whiny in this one! She gets her own in the end, at least.
