Thread Name: Lyr Req: The Ledbury Parson / Ledbury Clergyman
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Ledbury(?) Clergyman
I've heard Will Duke sing this at Sutton Bonington, and its sung with great relish by Charlie Clissold on a tape of songs collected by Mike Yates which was issued by Veteran. Its a lovely, really singable, song but I've never seen it written down, so if Greg can get it down that would be a great help.

Its got a great tune as well.

"If going astray should be your plan,
Just think of the Ledbury clergyman."


Apparently it is based on a true story.
