    I've sung this song so many places, and always with pleasure. It's been a favourite of mine for years, a dear friend and travelling companion. It was inspired by a picnic on the moors with my kinswoman and her horse-owning friend - we travelled there on the back of a cart, pulled by piebald Jack... This version was recorded some years ago as part of a demo CD - 'Scarlet for Hunting' - which I used at the time. I still enjoy singing this, and one day perhaps you'll hear the rest of the story.

about

Talis Kimberley UK

"I'm a songwriter and singer; my songs are spun from folklore and history, stirred well with a hazel wand and served with cake. I'll sing you ravens and bones and the story behind the story, I'll sing you bread and apples, ghosts and knitting, and bring you home with a pocketful of feathers and hope"
