OK, the U fell off the beginning of 'used' in verse 5. But I didn't say someone else wrote it. Bert Jansch tells the story of how he learned it in Edinburgh straight after Robin had written it in, I think, 1965. Dick Gaughan also pays tribute to Robin's exquisite songwriting whenever he performs it.

And talking of Westlin Wind (as someone was), Dick Gaughan's rendition of this is sublime.
