Subject: RE: Lyr Req: The Working Chap
Hi Bev and Jerry,

Yes, I was a member of "Isles of Prydain" but that was a long time ago - I have trouble remembering what happened yesterday! Seriously though, I really could remember next to nothing about the song much less our source for it. Suzanne Friend sang lead and I never learned the verses. I was even more befuddled when Suzanne told me she got the song from me.

When I searched Mudcat all I came up with was reference to the song The Working Man written by Rita MacNeill. If you read my original post you'll see that I started this thread because I want to track down the version of Working Chap as done by Ossian who use a different melody and different last two verses. A few years ago I inherited a friend's music collection and the cassette tape of "Ossian" turned up as part of it. Unfortunately it was one of those tapes with nonexistant liner notes.
