Thread Name: Lyr Req: Blackdaughter / Black Dodder
Subject: Blackdaughter and other lost threads
I heard a Danny Carnahan song once (or perhaps Robin) "And the sound of the Blackdaughter flowing" Any clues as to where I could find the words? a recording? Also heard a Scots song with the repeating last line of "When our true King comes o'er the water." about Charlie I would guess, from a woman's perspective. also some line about her "throwing her rock and reel away" Also, anyone know who wrote the song with the chorus "If were fishes, I know where I'd be / Casting my nets in the dark rolling sea / And if my net's empty when it comes back to shore / I'll throw it away and go fishing no more." And has Archie ever printed out the words to "Will Ye Gang Love"??
