Thread Name: Origins of The Trampwoman's Tragedy
Subject: RE: Origins of The Trampwoman's Tragedy
The tune was written by Tim Laycock, on a bus!! While riding to a gig somewhere in the south of England. I love this song, but it is so long and complex I don't think I could ever sing it from memory completely. If you like this, you should definitely read other Thomas Hardy poems, they are better than his novels.
