Tobyjug	Lyr Req: If I Can Remember the Words (20)	RE: Lyr Req: 'If I Could Remember The Words'	11 Feb 05
There was a song written and performed by Eric Winter, a folk fan, socialist journalist and (parody) songwriter, who lived near Clapham Common and was one of the fans of the early Towersey folk club and festival (1970/71). He also wrote "The man who waters the workers' beer". His song was sung to the tune of "Rosin the bow", and the chorus was: If I could remember the words (sung as "wer-er-erds)" If I could remember the words, I'd sing you ano-other chor-us, if I could remember the words. I remember this from the late 60s - so it could be what June Tabor sang in a lighter moment. Perhaps another old fart from England like myself can remember more of the verses. Dave C.
