Talk:Silver Dagger (song)

Latest comment: 20 days ago by Ranguli in topic Factual inaccuracy in Adaptions section

For the attention of a more experienced wikipedia-editor than me:

Please also add the fact that UK Folk-rock band The Men They Couldn't Hang did a cover-version of this song on the album Waiting for Bonaparte.

However much Joan Baez is responsible for the song's current renown, an encyclopedia should present it more neutrally.Osric (talk) 17:57, 4 January 2009 (UTC)Reply

Factual inaccuracy in Adaptions section

The "Hey Rosetta!" song "Who Is At My Window Weeping (Silver Dagger) is not a performance of Silver Dagger per se. More accurately it is a re-interpretation of a traditional English/Newfoundland folk song called "Who Is At My Window Weeping", which shares a lineage and lyrical content with Silver Dagger. Kenneth Peacock, a Canadian ethnomusicologist, made a field recording of Who Is At My Window Weeping in the mid 20th century and it is featured in Volume 3 of his book Songs of the Newfoundland Outports.
