Never get tired of listening to this. What a voice. Great accompaniment too.

Gods, it's eerie how beautiful her voice is... U cn see her weeping and hanging laundry in the highlands of Scotland, aching for her lost love.. It's poignant. I love this song.

This is very wonderful...very, very much so. Thank you to these wonderful musicians for an excellent rendition of a very emotive song.

Stunning performance of a brilliant song.

June's voice is a unique instrument. A gift.

This song is truly moving and so beautifully sung by June. This is the first time I've seen this since it was first aired - thank you to the lovely person who posted this. Thrilled that it is on KZfaq. :-)

she has the best folk female voice ive ever heard . such delivery ,, expression , so sensitive and strong .

Lovely! Learned this first from Sheila Stewart, another of the great singers of the traveling peopleback in the 80s. Though June does it very differently, she certainly does it justice... Love her singing...

I love June's version, she sings it with such emotion! : )

WOW........this is pure passion. Her vocal contains such soul.

I wish I could listen June performing the Pauline Scanlon's rendition. It would be perfect ! Alba Gu Brath !

Queen of English folk music.

If June Tabor ever releases a collection of live material, I sincerely hope this is included.

What a brilliant virtuoso singer ❤️💕🎶

Rye Church graced by grace! A special time.

This is so beautiful and a very dignified version

Enya might think she's all that but NO ONE sings a dirge like June Tabor. I have never heard this before but I cannot believe how wonderful it is on the first hearing. Amazing. Sheer brilliance.

buy everything June Tabor has done...old, new, Oyster Band, everything is works of art

This track is on the CD " Against The Streams"

Truly transcendent.

But I mean to climb up some higher, higher tree And harry a white snowflake's nest, And down shall I fall, ay, without any fear To the arms that love me best.

Here are the lyrics from her "Against the Stream" album, which was named based on the word of this song! False, false have you been to me, my love, Oh, when did you change your mind? Ah, but since you've laid your love on another fair maid I'm afraid that you're no more mine. I was climbing to a tree that was too high for me, Asking for fruit where there weren't any grew. I've been lifting warm water out beneath cold clay And against the stream I was rowing.

Popped up in my feed today.
