Thread Name: Lyr Req: The Water Dog's Hole / Otter's Holt
Subject: The water dog's hole
Otherwise known as the Otters' Holt or variations on that theme (the water dog being the otter). It's a lovely tune, sorry I can't reproduce it here, but I have a vague and distant memory of it being done as a lament, with words to it. Something about the hunting of the otter with otterhounds, it was a lament on the decline of both dog and otter. Probably making this up out of a drunken recollection or a dream from a former life, but what the heck, it can't hurt to ask can it?!

Thanks,
