took Simon more than thirty years to admit to any wrong doings,he literally stole the song arrangement from carthy and passed it of as his own.

By all accounts, Paul Simon was rather reluctant to acknowledge the Carthy influence.

Martin Carthy taught the song to Paul Simon. Both versions are masterpieces.

Weirdly enough, this is one of the most magical songs in the English Folk repertoire.
