       The song originally appeared on Roy Harper's album Flat Baroque and
Berserk. The writer is listed as "H. Ash", who is credited with writing about
half the songs (Roy Harper is credited for the rest).  I suspect H. Ash is a
pseudonym for Roy, but others more knowledgeable may contradict me.  
       The original lp is all folk songs, sometimes with string arrangements
(by David Bedford, i believe) with one rock and roll track, "Hell's Angels" and
one live track--the 12-minute long "i hate the white man", which is probably
the best song on he album, though the album as a whole is good.  
       The bootleg Wow! has a pink sheet that mentions the song as being by
"H. Asch and R. Harper". I didn't get it, so i haven't heard the KaTe version.
The lyrics Vickie posted seem identical to the original, excepting that the
original was sung entirely by Roy.  The duet is an interesting innovation, and
the video concept seems great.
