On the Turntable - The Chieftans and Alison Krauss

I love the Chieftans and Alison Krauss...so this is a special mix. It's amazing how many versions there are of this song. Some of the lyric variations can be found here. It's a tragedy about a man who mistakes his true love for a swan while hunting.

Beautiful and sad.
