Thank you all so much for your lovely comments - I really feel like I've been showered with blessings, and on my birthday too 🙏💙🎂💙 Much love to you all

You'll know you're English the moment she starts singing and you feel your ancestors in your blood.

There is little sweeter, or more soothing than the voice of an English songstress, especially when singing such a lovely little folk ditty.

This comforts me.

Possibly my favourite English Folk song. Beautiful rendition.

Beautiful song by a beautiful voice.

Beautiful cover!

Beautiful, thank you for this bit of light and warmth upon this foggy and dark times

2:52 of being not such a hardened man. Beautiful, moving, thank you.

Dear god, this is beautiful. Imagine an echo, slow strings, and a bodhran drum. Truly the heartbeat of our people is in our song.

Lovely feminine voice!

My hairs stand on end when I hear this song. My blood rushes and my ancestors awaken in me. Thank you.

Why I listen this song and I feel like I have heard it from ever? BEAUTIFUL

Not a drop of Angle, Jute, Saxon, Gael, Dane, Norman, or Brythonic blood in me, but this is the Britain that I dearly love.

I found the lyrics :D [Verse 1] Of all the trees that grow so fair, old England to adorn Greater are none beneath the sun but Oak, and Ash, and Thorn [Chorus] Sing Oak, and Ash, and Thorn, good sir All of a midsummer's morn Surely we sing of no little thing But Oak, and Ash, and Thorn [Verse 2] Oak of the clay lived many a day o'er ever Aeneas began Ash of the loam was a lady at home when Brute was on outlaw man Thorn of the Down saw New Troy Town, from which was London born Witness hereby the ancient try of Oak, and Ash, and Thorn [Chorus] Sing Oak, and Ash, and Thorn, good sir All of a midsummer's morn Surely we sing of no little thing But Oak, and Ash, and Thorn [Verse 3] Yew that is old, in churchyard mold, he breedeth a mighty bow Alder for shoes do wise men choose, and Beech for cups also But when you have killed, and your bowl it is filled, and your shoes are clean outworn Back you must speed for all that you need to Oak, and Ash, and Thorn [Chorus] Sing Oak, and Ash, and Thorn, good sir All of a midsummer's morn Surely we sing of no little thing But Oak, and Ash, and Thorn [Verse 4] Elm, she hates mankind and waits, til every gust be laid To drop a limb on the head of him that anyway trusts her shade But whether a lad be sober or sad, or mellow with ale from the horn He'll take no wrong when he lieth along 'neath Oak, and Ash, and Thorn [Chorus] Sing Oak, and Ash, and Thorn, good sir All of a midsummer's morn Surely we sing of no little thing But Oak, and Ash, and Thorn [Verse 5] Oh, do not tell the Priest our plight, for he would call it a sin For we've been up in the woods all night, a-conjuring summer in We bring you news by word of mouth, good news for cattle and corn For now as the sun come up from the south, by Oak, and Ash, and Thorn Sing Oak, and Ash, and Thorn, good sir All of a midsummer's morn England shall bide till Judgement Tide By Oak, and Ash, and Thorn

Wonderful.

You have such a beautiful voice!! The ashes are such sacred trees. I am the sole groundskeeper for a 17 acre wooded church property (established 1810.) We have a grove of blue ash trees. We are located along The Olentangy river. Also we have Red Elm, Ohio Buckeye, Burr Oak, PawPaw trees, Hackberry, Black Maples and so so much more.

Awesome rendition!

Beautiful 👌🏻

Gradually catching up with your fine uploads and enjoying them one and all. There's something fine about just singing out and I say that as a long time old time banjo player! Thanks again cos this one really resonates as Spring springs again🙂

All the Alder, Yew, Pine, Birch, Spruce and Lime trees in that forest: 👁👄👁

Every week I have been publishing old singing videos and the stories behind them from when I first started recording. Birthdays and a bit about home-education crept in this one too open.substack.com/pub/julierussell/p/from-the-song-archives-c33?r=blh8o&showWelcomeOnShare=true
