Peggy Seeger sings the traditional ballad 'The Dewy Dens Of Yarrow' from her 1962 Prestige album 'A Song For You And Me'. The song is an American variant of the British ballad 'The Braes O Yarrow' (Child #214) first reported by Sir Walter Raleigh about a 17th century duel between two men over a girl whose favorite is killed. This version focuses on the reactions of the girl.  Yarrow is in the Scottish Borders area of Scotland and a "dewy den" is a wooded valley used as a hiding place by outlaws - as in "den of thieves."
