Since the 1960s, the song has appeared on albums by many folk-influenced artists, including Joan Baez, who included it on her second album, "Joan Baez, Vol. 2" in 1961, as well as Martin Carthy's first LP in 1965. Another famous version appeared on Alan Stivell's best-selling 1972 album "Olympia live". The song was also recorded by Pentangle on their "Sweet Child" album, Steeleye Span on "Now We Are Six" (as "Long-A-Growing"), and by Angelo Branduardi (Italian version "Gli Alberi Sono Alti") on his "La Luna" in 1975. Sarah Brightman also recorded the song on her "The Trees They Grow So High" album. An a cappella version appears on Brenda Wootton's 1975 album "Starry Gazey Pie", sung in two-part harmony with Robert Bartlett.
