The Sang from Quinie by Quinie

Words from a Marian Angus poem, The Sang. From Sun and Candlelight (The Porpoise Press, Edinburgh, 1927). Arranged by myself based on the tune of Anne Brigg’s version of Young Tambling on her first solo album Anne Briggs. She said of the tune “a number of versions, mostly fragmentary, have turned up among country singers, particularly Scottish travelling people. I cobbled this set together, in part from Child, in part from recent collection; the tune is derived from one used for this ballad by travellers.”
