Ms. Ritchie 's catalog is an ethnomusicologist's treasure trove. Hard to believe she's still playing dulcimer and singing this fruitfully at 91

I've come to a conclusion as to why folk singers sing with one finger in their ear. It's so they can only hear half the crap they're singing.

Sounds like a North American version of The prickly holly bush to me !

I stumbled on this. I loved it friend. Traditional American acoustic songs are hard to beat in my eyes.

Anyone looking to find the original--Old English ballad version of this--it is in ENGLISH AND SCOTTISH POPULAR BALLADS by Childe, Ballad number 95. It is also in the Sargent/Kitteredge edition from the Cambridge Poet Series. You can download an ebook version of the book on archive.com. The book is a treasure trove of song lyrics. No music.
