Thread Name: Lyr Req: A Cold Wind / 'Spyship' theme (June Tabor
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: June Tabor 'Spy ship' theme
Have now listened to the record, unfortunately some of the words are not clear even when played at 33rpm instead of 45rpm. It is not that long a song really and I can see why it never got anywhere. Anyway her goes with what I have

Cold wind blew over the sea
Cold hand reached out over the icy sea
And it took good men, good fishing men
From their wives and families

Now there's sorrow here, there's anger in the town
Over this ....... mystery
Remember when the wind blows cold
The good men of the............. (think it could be name of ship in the drama)
The fishermen who worked the sea

Cold wind blew over the sea
Cold hand reached out over the icy sea
And it took good men, good fishing men
From their wives and families
(There is now a short instrumental)
Now there's sorrow grief, there's anger in the town
And this ............ mystery

Sorry but this is the best I can do
with the shortness of the song is it really worth singing it.

I will be doing a seperate post for this but does any body have the words and possibly chords for
You drinking men at the old number 10 written by Bernard Bowland I think. I once heard Eric Bogle singing it about 24+ years ago.
