a song for father's day (but not mother's day)

It's grim, but he's just about the most devoted husband and would-be father you will ever meet.

Watch on YouTube

This performance, clearly modeled on Martin Carthy's, is the best by anybody else I've heard.

PS. Want a goofy, off-key, semi-dramatized version? This goodly gift you too shall command.

That's a great rendition. Talk about the mother in law from hell!

Thanks for sharing. I love "Willie's Lady" and have been collecting versions and had not heard this one.
