Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Pentangle's Sweet Child songs
Found this thread when I was looking for the words of "I loved a lass"

I have been listening to Ian Campbell's version of this song recently and he sings five verses rather than the four given above.

The fifth verse is:

Go dig my grave both wide and deep
And cover it o'er with flowers so sweet
And I'll turn in to take a long sleep
And maybe, come time, I'll forget her.

I feel this verse adds to the song and makes it feel complete.

BTW, I was somewhat surprised to find that this song was not in the DT database.
