[Background]
Albert Lancaster Lloyd, usually known as A. L. Lloyd or Bert Lloyd, was an
English
folk singer and collector of folk songs, and as such was a key figure in the
folk
music revival of the 1950s and 1960s.
I have included a link to both the original recording and one of my favourite
cover versions.
Enjoy!
