Hybrid vigor
It's a Child Ballad spliced with a klezmer tune, complete with clarinet solo and Sandy Denny–clear vocals (well, at times).
To him who doesn't like this song, I say: you have got no soul.

At least in the Buell Kazee version (esp. the later, longer one) that may be the least accurately named song ever.

That is pretty -- I should buy the album. If that's Julie singing lead initially, I'd never have recognized her voice.

I don't think it is—if I had to guess, I'd call it Nina Rolle.

Though maybe it is her starting the verse that begins "it was the heart of the wintertime"?

Could be -- there was a voice about halfway through that sounded as if it could be her, but I still wouldn't have recognized her. On the other hand, I'm not tone deaf, but pretty tone stupid, so I may not know what I'm listening to.
