From the Beggar's Mantle...Fringed with Gold


From the Beggar's Mantle... Fringed with Gold is an album by Barbara Dickson.
"The Morning Lies Heavy on Me" by Allan Taylor is a soldier's farewell to his family. Dickson had met the folk singer Daisy Chapman in 1968, and had learned "The Orange and the Blue" directly from her. It is a longer version of the song "All Around My Hat". "Lord Thomas of Winesberry and the King's Daughter" is sustained for 6 minutes with simple fiddle and guitar accompaniment. The album was recorded in 1971 and released on vinyl in 1972. It was re-released in 2006 on CD with Do Right Woman.
