The song appears as part of The Northumbria Anthology boxed set, released
(so I'm told-there have been several postponements so far) next month.
The singer there is Judy Dinning (Lucky Bags, ex-Jez Lowe), and I produced
and arranged the song.
Yes, it's beautiful isn't it?- the lyric we used is a hybrid of the original
and two excellent verses penned by Johnny Handle of The High Level Ranters,
so there you go) which complete the slightly sentimental story of the
child's loss and eventual safe return, all set in a Northumbrian idyll.
Drop me line and I'll dig out the lyric and post it here.
