We've enjoyed this song for years ever since hearing the Loreena McKennit recording. I recently joined a group that has this in their repertoire.
It was made famous by Steel Eye Span. It was the title track on "Please to See the King" in 1971. Steel Eye Span got it from the Watersons who recorded it in 1965 on their album, "Frost and Fire".
