Thread Name: Lyr Req: Haul Her Away (Maddy Prior)
Subject: Lyr Add: SALLY RACKET (from Louis Killen)
While waiting for someone that has Maddy Prior's CD and time and will to listen to the song and help me with the missing line, I also ask for a check for this transciption of a Louis Killen's recording of HAUL 'ER AWAY/HAUL HIM AWAY/LITTLE SALLY RACKET etc. I've put an "l" in the line "and a hauley high-l-O", becuse, differently from other recordings of the song, it seems he sings something like that, but I'm not sure. THanks. R
