English Folk Song - The Shepherd's Song

The Shepherd's Song (Roud Folk Song Index #284), also known as Stormy Winds and Shepherds are the Best of Men, is an English folk song about the highs and lows of life as a shepherd on the wolds, hilly pastureland buffeted by brisk winds.

This channel is such a gem. English folk music has been neglected for far too long. I plan on covering more of it myself and this channel has been incredibly valuable in teaching me new songs. Thank you!

Good on you for doing this. I sure hope the English realize their culture is beautiful and should be kept alive.

Le gach dea guí ó Éireann (with every good wish from Ireland) you have put together a collection of absolute gems, thank you. Songs from the land of some of my ancestors.

The Wolds are beautiful. Glory to the agrarian times.

You should upload Scarborough Fair, Martin Carthy sung a great version. He taught it to Bob Dylan who used it for a famous song and Simon and Garfunkel basically copied Martin Cathy's version. Its got to be one of the most well known English folk songs... even if yanks don't know its english.

A song fit for the Shire. I can imagine Hobbits singing this

No fiction is needed. These are the songs of our ancestors, let it be English and English alone.
