Tam Lin (Child Ballad #39)

This is the ballad that nobody wants to hear started at a singing session.

On the other hand, it is so famous that it has its own website:

This song breaks the previous record for the longest single take recording I have done by some 10 minutes, with the next longest probably being 'The Doleful Dance' at 11:10.

Thumbnail is Rackham's Meeting of Oberon and Titania.

The melody I am using is from this beautiful version by Archie Fisher:

But I have also heard it used by Tattie Jam for 'Earl Richard':
