Great cover! This is the song that started the folk-rock genre (the first time electric guitars were used on a folk song). For anyone who’s interested in music history, read the book, “Wounds to Bind”. Fascinating stuff.
This song was written by Canadian folk singer Sylvia Fricker and performed by her and her husband as "Ian and Sylvia" in 1961. Later "We Five" had a hit with their interpretation of it in 1965 and Crispian St Peters sang it in 1966 but neither of them wrote the song. I'm sad Sylvia is being forgotten.
I’m sorry. You will never outdo We Five’s version. They were unique. They had a female lead and a black drummer which was unheard of at that time. It was the beginning of the San Francisco era of rock and roll.
I am usually very critical but this woman sings amost identical to Bivens on this song. If you didn't know the group performng this and just heard it. one might think it was Bivens with a local band. Obviously she is not as good as Bivens but her vocal on this song was very close.

Old time music, and yet jolly good: it explains the 60s atmosphere quite well
I have heard this song a lot by a lot of different groups and this gal did a good job
great version of a great song!!
That was actually quite good.
She sounds just like the original!
It ain't, "You Were On My Mind" and the, "Sixties", if it hasn't got a Rickenbacker 12- string janglin'.
The Rickenbacker 12 is so chimey...made the original so memorable, along with Bev's voice.

You're obviously tone deaf! This version was just fine!
Not bad I suppose, but Bev Bivens sings it so much better.
