I was listening to a sample on Amazon of "William & Davy" and my dad was in the room. His reaction: "I can't understand what she's saying."
It was the "a fairer maiden there never has been" part.

Got the new album a couple of days ago and it's great. There are fewer traditional songs than she usually has but the self-written ones are excellent. She even sings with the lead singer of Idlewild, my favourite non-folk band, on a few tracks! Current favourites are 'No Names', 'Bonny House of Airlie' and 'Wandering Soul' (a Waterson:Carthy-esque anthem) but of course the rest are lovely too

Bought Ten a while back. Fantastic. Mostly sad songs, but Drowned Lovers really kicks butt.

I actually didn't notice it in the CD booklet until after I heard the song. I was like: "Dude, there's another whole song on this album! Who knew?!"
 Everytime I hear Drowned Lovers I cannot help but sing it all day afterward. It's terribly catchy.
