Katie Cruel by Bert Jansch.
Now I am actually unsure of how I got this rendition of the song, nor if this is the original. But I do know I prefer this version over all the others. If anyone has any information on the background of this version please post in the comments section.
Sorry about the quality, first uploaded video.

wait I'm confused that you like this one better than Karen Dalton's. Also, this is the most similar to her arrangement of the covers I heard.12 years ago

It's a traditional, probably Scottish in origin, so there is no "original", really. This is a great version though.14 years ago

@GhostyFilms: that isn't Bert singing in the background, it's a second female vocalist. Makes for a very haunting sound if you ask me.14 years ago

I think that if Bert Jansch is going to have other people singing his song, he should not sing while they are singing...15 years ago

From wikipedia: "Katie Cruel is a traditional American folksong, likely of Scottish origin. As a traditional song, it has been recorded by many performers, but the best known recording of the song is by Karen Dalton on the album In My Own Time. The American version of the song is said to date to the Revolutionary War period.The American lyrics appear to contain an oblique story of regret." In Bert Jansch's cover the singers are Beth Orton and Devendre Banhart.Related Videos
