So I'm working through the list of songs I got at a camp last week, trying to learn all the good ones, but there are one or two I can't find ANYWHERE (which is sort of why I joined MC in the first place). So I'm requesting any information anyone has on this: a triumphal sounding ballad about taking back the for 'us'/'we'. Each verse was a description of the ways of life/activities which were practised/would result 'when/if we had the land' (last line of each verse). I can only remember one couplet from it, the last two lines of a verse: "and we'd take what we need and we'd let it grow back / If we had the land!" Unsurprisingly the song was called 'When we had the Land' by everyone who referred to it. I realise this is a bit of a long shot, with little to go on, but no-one said folk music was easy! Tune really swings so I'd really like to find it again. Cheers everyone.
