Though now I'm very curious about the version you know; the only one I know is Alex Beaton's version, which doesn't have that line in it.
It was sung by a woodcarver named Fenwick who had been part of the same commune as one of my college professors and one of our mutual friends who I used to perform with; the friend was playing the concertina. I didn't learn his name until after the party was over, when he sounded like a character out of a novel by Elizabeth Hand. I meant to ask him to carve me a green man, but it was early in 2006 and my life fell apart and I never did. I hope he's still alive.
