Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Woodturner's Love Song
G'day again Bat Goddess,
Just another lead to this tune:
Phyl wrote this song in 1979 - and used the traditional tune to The Cry Look-Out Below! by the (Australian) Goldfields singer Charles Thatcher. This tune is found in most collections of Australian folk songs (... and may be a British tune The Smuggler King - or else The Pirate King ...) but is sung as the tune collected by John Meredith from both Sally Sloane and Gladys Scrivener.
This is the tune I can send to you ... if I get a PM and an e-mail address.
Regards,
Bo
