There is a version of this song recorded in a medieval literature collection. The editor's note says the song was ancient when it was written down. When my boys were infants, I sang them to sleep with it. Doc is still a favorite of my 24-year-old son. <3

A traditional song. The story and the baby parts have been reversed in this doc watson version.

Yes, human. Humans singing w/o pitch correction. Playing musical instruments instead of a mouse.

So simple and deep at the same time. Very human. Nice to hear this kind of music these days.

I listened to this as a little girl, and I've always loved this song. Listening to it now, I have found that it evolves to new meanings in my life as I get older. Timeless music has that ability! Thank you so much Doc Watson!
