Thank you for posting this! So many questions: how did PJH become involved in this project, why didn't they use the track in the end, and how has it popped up now?

Thank you Romario for these hidden gems!

With “The Cruel Mother”, “An Acre of Land”, “God’s Gonna Cut You Down”, “I Wonder as I Wander” etc., I feel like there is a good case for a proper Polly-singing-traditional-folk-tunes compilation
