I was born in Durham, NC in 1948 of southern ancestry but I grew up in Philadelphia ....and I don't know why this "song" so haunts me and compels me to play it ...but I refer to it as "soul" ancestry from a previous life .....sorry if I offended anyone ...but this "song" makes me :) on the "inside"!
Ms. Macrae, I was searching for a vast array of performances of this song, it was my father's favorite, and I found yours. Strange coincidence - I was recently in England, studying history at Oxford, and on my last night in London, I stood outside this church. Hm. You did a beautiful rendition of this song. Thank you so very much. You and your voice are lovely. Doug Immel, USA.
Sophie this is truly beautiful! Amazing job! You sound so angelic! Was wondering where you got the sheet music for this piece, if you don’t mind sending me the link to it, I’d appreciate it so much!! -Victoria
This is a lovely rendition. Sounds like something from another time - in a good way!
CrownedWithLaurels thank you for your lovely words!

I wonder how many songs that began life as a shanty have been sung like an aria from an opera.
