Another version of the same song. That's the great thing about folk music - all the variations you can do https://youtu.be/1i4dvmKhuP8?si=qCyTKtogiwNUQoPD

The original. Some might not know that Paul Simon outright stole this from Martin Carthy, after asking him at a folk night to show him his arrangement.
He swiftly returned to America and recorded it without Martin knowing of it.

Further to what I was saying last night as to the need for people to take an interest in traditional folk music, I thought I'd give a few suggestions for where to get started:
Nic Jones:- He has a very gentle and pleasant style that is probably in line with what people expect from folk music.
His earliest albums in particular are a treasure, and i predict the ladies might prefer to start here.
Harry Cox:- A Norfolk born farm labourer recorded towards the end of his life, a shining example of traditional folk singing and gives the impression of listening to a grandparent or village elder in a pub.
Jon Raven:- Welsh Born, Staffordshire raised, Jon started out as a teacher before making Folklore and Folk Song his life's passion, he's an excellent example of a revival era artist trying to stay true to the tradition.
Peter Bellamy:- Again a Norfolk man, Bellamy started out in the 60s with the 'Young Tradition' before his solo work, later he took an interest in the poems of Kipling and became convinced they had been written with folk song in mind. Peter worked extensively to put these to music and one such, Oak, Ash & Thorn has become legendary in recent years.
Ewan Mcoll:- Ewan was a major driving force behind the revival with his rendition of many old (and some new) folk songs on the radio, many people who entered the scene in the 70s and 80s learned from listening to him, with 'Dirty old town' seemingly being a favourite.
Jake Thackery:- Thackey, from Leeds, took a slightly different approach with writing many new bawdy and humourous songs sung in a simple folkish style. I think his insights on the nature of women and relationships will still ring true to many men today.
This is a real scattershot of names, there are far more of all styles than I can list here. So if you're unfamiliar with any of them, why not click the name and have a listen? If you know of these, but have another favourite, please put a link to them in the comments below and share what is it about their work you connect with!

ANNE BRIGGS
"THE SNOWS THEY MELT THE SOONEST"
This is an English folk song dating back at least as far as 1821. It was mentioned, along with the lyrics, in Blackwood's Magazine (Edinburgh) of that year.
The melody was printed in Bruce and Stokoe's Northumbrian Minstrelsy in 1882, which also mentioned its publication in 1821 and noted that the contributor of the song was Thomas Doubleday (1790–1870), who put it to a melody ("My Love is Newly Listed") learned from a Newcastle street singer. Thomas Doubleday was a radical agitator who often contributed to Blackwood's.
The singer Anne Briggs first popularized the song in the 1960s and recorded it in 1971.
