This version follows Sandy Denny's demo recording with voice and piano.
It's on the expanded versions of the Rendezvouz album, and on some other collections.
The official, orchestrated version on Rendezvous is different only in minor details:
A slightly different timing in the phrase "I won't linger..." and a different outro.
Most people hold the demo superior to the orchestrated version.
