Spencer the Rover

 

traditional folk song - English

mp3 I'd heard this song a few times before hearing John Martyn's version, but it was his that inspired me to sing the song. This arrangement is clearly influenced by that version. The guitar was arranged as a duet piece with Dominic Nicholson playing either bass or complimentary guitar. It was a suprise to discover that my part still worked on it's own without much alteration, perhaps none.
 

I need to research this song again before I add any more notes on it.
