Thread Name: Lyr Req: Tommy Toes (Albion Band)
Subject: Lyr Req: Red Tommytoes
I'm trying to piece together the lyrics of the song 'Red Tommytoes' from the Albion Band's Lark Rise to Candleford album.
Is this a traditional song or a relatively modern contruction? I can find no reference to it anywhere (ie even Google can't help). Before I post what I've identified, I just need to be sure I'm not causing a copyright offence.
The particular bit I'm struggling with is the line that sounds like 'lotus for the likes of you' - lotus? Does that make sense? And the final line that sounds like "And it's patience for the likes of you".
