Probably because it is a.k.a. Child Ballad #73, this tune usually
gets an English-accented folk treatment – even in the bluegrass world.
Mike
and Peggy Seeger did something extraordinarily different with it. In
their hands, Child 73, better known as “Lord Thomas and Fair Ellender”,
sounds as though it came to life in the hills and hollers of Appalachia.
