G'day again,

Jim Dixon: I did know the song's words were posted in the other threads ... but the links raised by the Mudcat Search kept opening the wrong (unconnected) threads - so I put Neil's Obit into this "Lyr Req" thread, which I cold open.

(I might remark that Bill D seems to have misheard one phrase in the song. His line in the "Silky Oak" stanza:

"I'd turn you a lampstand for your light; a table tall & plain,"

should read:

"I'd turn you a lamp stand for your light, tapered tall & plain,".

That's how I have always sung it ... and I also checked Phyl's words in Songs of a Bronzewing, Phyl Lobl, Tully Publishing, Connells Point, NSW, 1991 - ISBN 0 9592904 1 9.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Phyl's CD, mentioned above my Margret, is a good retrospective of her work - and I see that the back cover includes my photograph of Phyl ... mentioned 7 1/3 years earlier in this thread ... and taken some 34 years ago! (However ... it is cropped at guitar level - well short of the hemline of the aforementioned mini-skirt!)

Regards,

Bob
