can anyone tell me the history of the song and what the instrumental at the end of Fairport's version represents?
thanks in advance.

having thought about it i don't think the instrumental signifies anything.folk rock groups of that era played solos as a matter of course.70s prog rock was all about guitar solos so the bit at the end was just a blow out for the band.it's up to your imagination what it means.maaaaan!
