From The Seeger Sessions, here’s Bruce Springsteen’s live version of another anti-war song associated with Seeger, Mrs McGrath.
It's a myth that Seeger was so insensed when Bob Dylan went electric at the 1965 Newport Folk Festival that he tried to cut the power cable with an axe. Seeger says, "Electric music is the vernacular of the second half of the twentieth century... but I couldn't understand the words. I wanted to hear the words. It was a great song, "Maggie's Farm," and the sound was distorted. I ran over to the guy at the controls and shouted, "Fix the sound so you can hear the words." He hollered back, "This is the way they want it." I said "Damn it, if I had an axe, I'd cut the cable right now."http://stopwar.org.uk/content/view/1214/27/
Bruce Springsteen - Mrs. McGrath Live in Dublin
Mrs. McGrath," the sergeant said, "Would you like a soldier of your son, Ted? With a scarlet cloak and a fine cocked hat, Mrs. McGrath wouldn't you like that?"
Mrs. McGrath lived on the shore And after seven years or more she spied a ship coming into the bay with her son from far away
"Oh, Captain dear, where have you been. Have you been out sailin' on the Mediteren'. Have you any news of my son Ted. Is he livin' or is he dead?"
Now came Ted without any legs And in their place two wooden pegs She kissed him a dozen times or two Saying "My God Ted is it you?"
"Now were you drunk or were you blind When you left your two fine legs behind? Or was it walking upon the sea That wore your two fine legs away?"
"No I wasn't drunk and I wasn't blind When I left my two fine legs behind. a cannon ball on the fifth of May Tore my two fine legs away."
"Now Teddy boy," the widow cried "Your two fine legs was your mother's pride Them stumps of a tree won't do at all Why didn't you run from the cannon ball?"
All foreign wars, I do proclaim Live on blood and a mother's pain I'd rather have my son as he used to be than the king of America and his whole navy
Steeleye Span is a British electric folk band, formed in 1969 and remaining active today. Along with Fairport Convention they are amongst the best known acts of the British folk revival, and were among the most commercially successful, thanks to their hit singles "Gaudete" and "All Around My Hat". They had 3 top 40 albums. They achieved a certified "gold" record with sales of "All Around My Hat". (...)
Throughout its long history, Steeleye Span has seen a great many personnel changes but has maintained a strong continuity of tradition. Lead vocalistMaddy Prior was one of the main attractions of the band's music, being one of a handful of strong-but-melodically-voiced women in rock music in the 1970s (along with Sandy Denny, Renaissance's Annie Haslam, Jacqui McShee and Linda Thompson).
Their typical album is a collection of mostly traditional songs with one or two instrumental tracks of jigs and/or reels added in; the traditional songs often include some of the Child ballads. In their later albums there has been an increased tendency to include music written by the band members, but they have never got completely away from traditional music, which draws upon indigenous pan-British traditions.

(Hogg's "Jacobite reliques") Cam ye o'er frae France? Cam ye doon by Lunnon? Saw ye Geordie Whelps and his bonnie woman? Oh, weren't ye at the place called the Kittle Housie? Saw ye Geordie's grace a-ridin' on a goosie? Geordie, he's a man, there is little doot o't, And he's done a' he can, all can dae wi'oot it, Doon there cam' a blade, linkin' like ma lordie, He wad drive a trade at the loom o' Geordie. Though the claith were bad, blythly may we niffer Gin we git oor wab, it makes little differ, we hae tint oor plaid, bonnet, belt and swordie Ha's and mailin's braid, but we hae oor Geordie. Jocky's gone to France, and Montgomery's lady there will learn to dance; madam, are ye ready? They'll be back belyve, belted brisk and lordly, Brawly, may they thrive to dance a jig wi' Geordie! Hey for Sandy Don, hey for Cockalorum, Hey for Bobbin' John, and his Hielan' quorum! Mony a sword and lance swings at Hielan hurdie; How they'll skip and dance o'er the bum o' Geordie!
Note: When George I imported his seraglio of impoverished gentlewomen from Germany, he provided the Jacobite songwriters with material for some of their most ribald verses. Madame Kilmansegge, Countess of Platen, is referred to exclusively as "The Sow" in the songs, while the King's favorite mistress, the lean and haggard Madame Schulemburg (afterwards named Duchess of Kendall) was given the name of "The Goose". She is the
"goosie" referred to in this song. The "blade" is the Count Koningsmark. "Bobbing John refers to John, Earl of Mar, who was at the time recruiting Highlanders for the Hanoverian cause. "Geordie Whelps" is, of course, George I himself.
