Having mostly heard her guitar playing I had no idea Lindsay's voice was so beautiful...very inspiring.
Thanks so much!
I love your version; I do believe the Silly Sisters are in danger of being knocked off the pedestal I have them on!
Oh my, that's high praise!
Now that is a very fine song and well done. Some say it started with a poem by Robert Burns. But who knows where ~he~ got it... and the dollar - started out as a Dutch coin, or so I've heard
From a true geordie..love this!! Very talented lady
Aw, thank you kindly!
Wonderful voice & lytics, good playing, Collings guitar, beautiful singer! It’s all there...
Beautiful song Very Talented !
Ok, really really nice. What a masterclass of relaxed but engaging flatpicking in a great drop-D tuning. Graceful and poignant - way to go, Lindsay! (New fan after hearing a Carters guitar demo featuring your great finger styling).
I so appreciate your kind words! Thank you so much!
i saw your presentation on the guitar channel ... excellent player reinvigorated my accoustic interest!

Beautiful wonderful singer I’m trying learn guitar myself 💙
Lovely I Iove Scottish Folk Song
Beautiful! Excellent flat-picking too. Thank you Lindsay!
No, thank you!
Likley that the song is actually English in origin.
Earliest known version is an English broadside of 1672-1696 called 'The Life and Death of George of Oxford'.
The Scottish versions were first published at least a hundred years later.
Oh, indeed, indeed. Pinpointing exact origins of ballads like these gets muddy, so often I'll default to noting the locale the version I'm singing comes from, as much as it's possible!
Yesssss, Lindsay!
Lovely guitar work.
Really beautiful ...

Beautiful song!! I have Geordie Roots!
I'd love to know the story behind this song. Good job.
Get it, Lindsay! :)
Good performance,
Prob a silly question Lindsay but have you ever covered Paul Brady's music? I think your voice and style are suited to it.
BRILLIANT LIKE IT ,RAY TWELVE STRINGS U.K
I wish you would tutorials for these traditional songs. Nobody does that for us watchers.
I'm so sorry, I thought I responded to you a couple months back!
I've pondered how I might help people with this kind of material. My approach varies song by song depending on the source, and part of why I don't do tutorials is because this is essentially "my" interpretation of this ballad, which was influenced by June Tabor's, and I don't want anyone to get the impression it's authoritative in any way. I'm not a strict traditionalist or a representative of a regional style (like, say, Elizabeth LaPrelle is for Appalachia, or Jeannie Robertson was for Scotland). At the same time, I'm not doing anything special here - I learned the song from June's recording and a few other versions, then worked out a chordal arrangement I liked, so it's not like I set it to my own melody or something. I certainly would love if folks learned this song because they liked my rendition, and I'm happy to facilitate that. But I also feel weird teaching my versions, as I think everyone is better off going to the sources, as I did.
Long story short...I'll probably do a philosophical tutorial first 😆 But in the meantime, it's all D, 90% of the time.

I enjoyed it , but my English isn’t that good that I understand the whole song. But nice song and beautiful sang 😊
Sounds wonderful. In these crazy days, it's just what the doctor ordered.
Not as many views as you deserve. I'll be back for more.
Lovely. What tuning are you using on this, please?
Thanks! Drop D on this one.
Hi Lindsay! How do you compare the edwina to the tradicional SM81 for recording instrumentals?
Vincenzo Del Lama I'm not really to qualified to say. My friend Andy who recorded this would be the one to ask! muledeermedia.com/
I got a song for you to consider The Way I am by Merle Haggard it is in drop D or should be ☘️
Beautiful song and playing!
But in which tuning is the guitar!?
Just plain old Drop D, nothing too fancy!
This song has a strength to it…find more songs like this…yes Drop D songs and a Celtic kick
Why is this not on Spotify??
It is! It's from my solo album. If you look up Lindsay Straw, I'm there! :)
English folk song
Many songs have multiple versions, and this one is no different! This particular story line appears to have its origins in Scotland, whereas the other version where Geordie isn't saved occurred more in England.
Us northern people are united with the Scots. Your all welcome you beautiful people.
