Subject: REQ:Rattlin' Roarin' Willy
Hi all,

Was listening to my highly illegal, many copies from the original, "don't know the name" Dubliners tape after a long break and heard a song that started:

Oh rattlin' roarin' Willy Oh he's a tailor fair Oh for to sell his fiddle

At which point the combined low quality of tape and stereo system made it impossible to decipher anymore. I haven't been able to find the song on any other Dubliners recordings here in Adelaide, which is hardly surprising. Nor have I been able to find it on the Net.

Anyone out there with a copy of the words, or an idea of what album I am listening to (I presume it's a best of, it has some live tracks on it) and where I might get a copy of it in good old South Australia.
