Thread Name: Lyr Req: Kora (from The McCalmans)
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: MacCalmans song Kora (House Full lp)
Now that's a really difficult one to transcribe for me due to both the singing of the McCalmans and the low quality of my tape. I can't vouch for much more than about half of the lines and I do not show all the bits I'm not yet contented with. Please help. I like the song.

KORA

CH.: Kora of the upland dell,
Kora of the haunted well,
glad the bondage, sweet the spell,
rouse me, dear, to thee.

Then we wandered through the brake,
then we sailed across the lake,
smooth the waters, fair Loch Tree,
through my true love and me.

Then we climb the mountains deep,
while the world lies hushed in sleep,
often resting here to keep
magic watch that none may see.

Then ....I....
in a mossy homeland green
I will meet thee, fairy queen
in the hour that none may see.
