Thanks, Jim, for posting the words to that song and Martin, for the correction.

My question (and maybe I should be asking Joe or another of the Mud elves) is this: About ten or twelve years ago I was searching Mudcat to answer the same question Jim had about Sutlej when I found words to a variant called "The Dream in Castlebar." (At least that's how I remember it.) It was essentially the same song. The thing is that it had another verse between Jim's (Tommy's--I got it from him, too. Thanks, Tommy. RIP) first and second verses, which explained why the beginning of the second verse seemed to be a continuing part of a conversation.

Foolishly, I did not copy it immediately, and when I went back for it a year or so later, I could find no trace of it, in spite of searching by distinctive phrases in the song.

My question (finally) is: Does anyone know that other verse? That other song? Where in the Mudcat netherworld might that file be crouching?

I'd love to find it.

Cheers,

David
