My favourite Bert Jansch song (and must be Jimmy Pages too). Difficult to sing as the melody covers a fairly wide range. Bert put music to a trad celtic folk number. Not many songs that go with a Glasgow accent. Originally posted by my bro who recorded me.

Actually it was in drop D. You can tell on the Fresh as a sweet Sunday morning DVD and also in Colin Harper's biography of Bert which mentions it. Confusion arose from Jimmy Page's 'interpretation' of the song (Black Mountainside)which is in DADGAD.

Great version, well done! I'm pretty certain that Bert's original arrangement was like this in DADGAD, although he brought out a songbook in '83 with it in dropped D.
