Horn of the Hunter

We learned this from Maddy Prior and the late (how it grieves me to write that) Tim Hart. I can do no better than quote what they said about the song in the sleeve notes to their first album in 1968. ‘Also known as Old John Peel this is one of the most popular songs amongst the Cumberland huntsmen and was probably written before the better known songs about John Peel. This is a collation of two versions collected by Geoff Woods from Jim Hewittson of Egremont and Miley Wilson of Lamplaugh.’
