To Greg Stephens: I learnt it from 'A Cold Wind Blows' on which Clayre himself sang it. I had the recording until the last time I moved at which point I suspect it went into the Great Vinyl Press in the sky.

To everyone: I have been trying to remember The Old Man's Song; all I can manage (I never liked it very much) is the last verse:
The young men now they dress so fine;
They don't know how we fought for this line.
They're getting too young to know my face;
And their work comes to me at the Devil's pace.
And I reckon I've served my time.
