The Baffled Knight​/​The Shepherd Lad (intro)

about

A traditional song in which a man comes across a woman skinny-dipping in a brook. She foxes him into taking her home but doesn’t give him what he hopes for in return. My version borrows from both Eliza Carthy’s ‘Blow The Winds’ and Lisa Knapp’s ‘Dew is on the Grass.’ At some point, the knight was replaced by a shepherd, but I rather liked the earlier title.

The brook was recorded at Gramarye Cottage, County Leitrim, Ireland.
