I fell in love with this song the 1st time I heard it many years ago. It's a contemporary folk classic. Richard Thompson's guitar playing is outstanding - as always - and his lyrics are superb: 'Oh she was a rare thing, fine as a bee's wing'... 'There was animal in her eyes'... 'You might be lord of half the world, you'll not own me as well'. Just take a listen.
It is a lovely song. I've heard lots of covers of it too...it brings out the best in people.
