A humorous song I found in the Penguin Book of English Folk Songs



By the way, the noise in the background is from an instrument called a shruti box which is a form of Indian Harmonium that just plays a drone.

Yes, I think a drone accompaniment works well with modal tunes.

Thanks for your comment.
