Subject: Lyr Req: Jake Walton : Follow the Plough
This beautiful song appeared on the 1976 Leader album 'Times & Traditions for Dulcimer' by Roger Nicholson, Jake Walton & Andrew Cronshaw. Never been able to decipher the lyrics which are a setting of an anonymous Cornish poem.

The melody came to me the other day whilst sitting playing my wife's dulcimer but as to the words I couldn't get further than:

After the plough, the seagulls follow,
Up the hill and down the hollow...

Help, please!
