MARY BLACK - 'LOVING HANNAH'



A beautiful woman with a lovely voice sings a wonderful old folk song.
I went to church on Sunday  
My love, she passed me by  
I knew her mind was changing  
By the roving of her eye  
By the roving of her eye  
By the roving of her eye  
I knew her mind was changing  
By the roving of her eye

    This old song has twisted itself into many different variations, Mimi. The Roud folk song index lists no less than 103 known variants, with titles as different as 'Going to Mass on Sunday', 'As I Walked Out One Morning', 'I Am a River Driver', and 'Courting is a Pleasure'. You can find the Roud entries for this song here.

    Nic Jones performs his take on the 'Courting is a Pleasure' variant on his album 'Penguin Eggs':
