have watched lots of clips of The Corries on You Tube but could never find the Corrie Folk Trio _ don't know why but so glad I have finally found this.
I thought I knew all The Corries songs, but I don't think I have heard this one before, it's beautiful. made me go goosy all over. I was brought up listening to the Corries and have loved them all my life. Roy was always my favourite and when he died, it broke my heart. When my son was born in 1995 I named him Roy.
I was brought up with the Spinners version, which I love. What a joy though, to find this cracking version, with different verses and so beautifully performed. Wow
This was the first single (after the EPs) and with Paddie. I fail to understand why this, and the other side (Oh Waly, Waly), which I like even better, failed to chart.! This was about the same time as the Seekers. Great stuff.
Hi Bill, I wondered about that! My memory suggested that the "Teasing" recording I knew was richer and more "complete" than this one. What's the story behind the Tradition recording? Was this before Waverley? A proposed album? Are there more of these recordings hidden away? Best, Tom B.
this is the best version of this song tht i have heard
many thanks for posting

Ronnie Drew of the Dubliners owns this song, but this is good too.
