about

(Roud 53)

I learned this directly from the singing of Martin
Carthy. I watched him perform at a small venue
in Norwich and was very taken by this song.
I asked him after the gig if he would mind if I
learned it too, he was very kind and said
“Of course I don’t mind, it’s your song too”.

Martin describes the song as being about
keeping secrets. He told me that people think it is
his own melody but that he got it from a shape note
tune.
