Actually, the song appeared to be “Malpas Wassail”, but I enjoyed it.
I like to listen to that kind of singing, but it drives the husband crazy. Same with bagpipes and bluegrass.
“Malpas Wassail” is correct, but I didn’t remember the title when I looked for it.
I discovered The Watersons some years ago on youtube when I was looking for something else. I have several of their albums now. I share your experience with that kind of music as well as bluegrass and bagpipes. No one I know has quite the enthusiasm for them that I have, except for one of my sons. I am a student of history and genealogy and I like to learn about how people at a certain time and place lived. This music gives me a glimpse of that.
