I'm with you there Stig.  Here is probably my favourite female singer songwriter number of all time.  Just listen to this woman's voice and the lyrics...  moves me to tears most times I hear it.  It's also worth 10 minutes reading some of the comments below, they express what this song means to me far better than I ever could.

Saw Judy Collins in Tanglewood, Lenox, Mass, sing this, after giving a mention to Sandy D.
Goodness Sandy died young! Not well known in this country.
Sometimes those youtube comments are quite moving!

Judy's album version has been a favorite for decades.

Thought those comments would hit home!  They did for me, particularly the one about the guy working on the SF Bridge.  Judy Collins is a great singer too, sadly never saw her (or Sandy D for that matter) live.
