Dear Mudcatters,

On Dr. Demento's Basement Tapes 12 there's a terrific song about the "The Queen of the Steam Machine at the Starbucks of County Down." It's done by "Trifolkal". It's a great song, but the melody sounds very old and I bet there's a at least a couple of other sets of lyrics out there and I'd like to find another set - you know, something about lost love, found love, war, sea-faring, etc.

So - has anybody out there heard the song, and, more to my point, know of an alternate set of lyrics?

Oh, my spam-blocker is set pretty tight, so please put "Mudcat" in the subject line of an e-mail and I'll let it right on through.

Thank you so much!
