She is particularly well known for the arrangement made by Simon & Garfunkel on their album Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme, based on Martin Carthy's version, which Paul Simon had the opportunity to hear in England. The traditional song consists of two parts. In the first part, the man claims to impose an impossible task on the woman (make a seamless shirt, etc.). The second part (oh will you find me an acre of land, plough it, sow it, reap it, ) is the answer - mocking -. It is therefore a song whose poetic character actually covers a rather sarcastic irony about man's claim.
