Versions of the song were recorded in the 1950s and 60s by folk revivalists including Pete Seeger.
The ballad was covered as a demo version by Simon and Garfunkel on their anthology album The Columbia Studio Recordings (1964-1970) and a bonus track on the 2001 edition of their album Sounds of Silence as "Barbriallen," [REF] and by Art Garfunkel alone in 1973 on his album Angel Clare.
