I think Gram Parsons and Ry Cooder do the best.

So perfect - their voices, blending as one. Just one of the greatest, if not THE, greatest version of this killer song. ...I miss them together - only Allison Krause and Robert Plant come close.

I see this as an Irish song two people one catholic one protestant meet in the dark for their love to blossom.......I dont see here a terst against marriage...."ther'yr going to find us" It does not say he is going to find us or she is going to find us....... For what its worth....food for thought

Guilty for causing suicides? My local radio station told me for the Lincoln Police I've caused countless suicides. They said my name and told they can tell I was listening.

This is really nice. My heart aches about the passage. How is that possible? How can this be so? Something in me sees something else, and it feels like utter loss, but it looks like something just as beautiful, a loss, a sad, sad thing that I desperately want to touch and yet feel very very alone from that. Oh my dear, this endless failing, just know how I love what you did . . . and will not, will not, forget that.

Only 14000 some hits. No wonder the Mayans are trying to get rid of us.

Oh Gawd, I was there too, wasn't that the gig where they dragged Sandy on stage to do "When will I Be Loved" with Linda? It all gets a bit hazy after 37 years.....

My favourite version of this much covered song. Only a man wracked with as much guilt as Richard Thompson (surely folk music's George Orwell - for both guilt AND talent!) can do justice to this tale of illicit desire, and Linda, as always, sings it so well!
