"Pity them who see him suffer,
Pity poor old Steeleye Span;
John Bowlin’s deeds they will be remembered"

(Horkstow Grange' Trad. Ar.')

"The thing about folk songs is their timelessness. 

They are always relevant even though they are very old. 

Put them in a modern setting and they become of modern consequence"

(Maddy Prior, 1972)
