@@pelicanpen Have you ever performed anywhere in USA? I am originally from UK but left many many years ago when I was a young girl and moved to USA with my parent's. Went to schools in USA. Traveled back to UK a lot during the 1980's and stayed mostly in London. There were so many folk clubs that I went to. Loved it!

@@suzannelawson9215 We performed in Maine a few years back with Gordon Bok & Carol Rohl.

@@suzannelawson9215 we also performed at the Settle Folk Festival in Yorkshire in 2019

Thanks for your lovely response! X

Thanks Suzanne. We knew the writer, Harry Robertson. This song has been covered by British folk singer Nic Jones among others.

You will find that birds join in on all our outdoor live clips! They are best backing singers!!!

I never knew JT did the song. Saw them in Sydney in the 70's sometime... always loved them too ...

Well..beer must be brewed!

Thanks! Such a great song!

Thanks from the bottom of my heart

Thanks so much!

Thanks so much for the interesting comment! I will do some research on the lyrics.

I''ve listened to ten or twelve renditions of the song, and everyone sings "cut", except for The Watersons, in their (or his) a cappella version, where it's "cort". I've checked the etymology via Wiki, which does not support my brilliant hypothesis. But "cut" has not the same sense as "skin" or "flay" or "cort", so I like "cort" better. But I hate to quibble - it's still a great old tune, one way or the other. If I wanted to quibble, it would just be a sign that I need to lighten up and have a drink. In my old homebrew book (by Charlie Papazian), a few very old ale recipes are recounted. In one, called, I think, "Old Cock Ale", one is instructed to obtain an old cock (in the sense of rooster, please!), and to "flea him (flay him?)" - parenthesis in the original - then to let him marinate in the barley malt and hops for a few weeks. I haven't tried the recipe, as I haven't an old cock available. Papazian also gives us a clever motto, inspired by Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young's "Déja vu": "Déja brew - we have all been beer before." @@pelicanpen

Hilarious! I have the same home brew book too where you stick an old rooster in the brew. Sounds exceedingly delightful I must say. In our Penguin book of British Folk Songs it does say "cut", however I rather like your etymology. Thanks for the very interesting discussion. x

@@pelicanpen Ah, so we are literally on the same page! Of a book I had thought rather esoteric! I no longer brew (cue sad violin music), for the sake of other commitments, but I have my replacement copy of Papazian, the Homebrew Bible (cue thunderbolts). I had lent my first to an Italian friend who wanted to take up home brewing, and don't you know, I never got it back! But I don't mind, as I'm sure it has been worthwhile.

Thanks lass!

G'day ... this version is a live performance. On the CD we used an orchestral backing created using a synthesiser. Very unusual for us - we usually use acoustic or electric guitar, mandolin, banjo, mandola, violin, flute etc. But we wanted a certain flavour on the recording. We were performing with our son on banjo here. Very special! We are so pleased that the song moves you. Bill Scott was a dear friend and mentor. As Gordon Bok (Maine folk singer) commented he was "...a deep well."

Thanks so much x

I do! The Labor Party Victory party!
