Thread Name: Lyr Req: Folksinger's Lament (Dave Diamond)
Subject: Lyr Req: It's not a song i would sing sober?
This is a song i learned a while ago and then forgot, and now have no idea of the words, having never written them,I can remember most of it, starting off......

Come gather round people here in this throng
I'll sing you a ditty
Both turgid and long
With lines that don't rhyme
And metere thats a little bit wrong
It's not a song i would sing sober

I'm in the mood now to sing it
I've had one or two
So before you stand up and head out to the loo
You can put up with me like i've put up with you
And i'd like you to join in the chourus

Could have sworn i got this song off mudcat originally but no search brings it up. Anyone got the full lyrics to sharpen my memory again.
