A song by Ewan MacColl:  THE TERROR TIME  DT file, with tune; also in the Forum under its other -original, I think- title,   WINTER SONG  with tune in miditext and abc, plus a link to a midi.

Any more words? Sounds a bit like "Sir James the Rose" or the Finnish ballad "The Bloody Son" from Swinburne's Poems and Ballads.

The one I'm thinking of is "Will you gang love and leave me now? Will you gang love and leave me now? Will you forsake your ane love true, for a bonnie lass that you never knew?" If this is it, let me know. It's an Andy M. Stewart song. (I think) I have the words around here somewhere. Z

WILL YE GANG, LOVE is also in the Digitrad. Good song, but not the one required. Malcolm got it right.

Yep Malcolm, that's the one. Terrific. Thanks.

Zorro. I used to sing this song. it was one of my favourites, very emotional. thanks for reminding me of it.

IanC. Will have a look at this source. You can never be too thin, too rich or know too many songs (Old folk saying.)

Thanks all
