Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Edinburgh songs
Been digging for the words of "(Try For a Woman In) Edinburgh Toon". Even went straight to the horse's mooth as it were - alas, no joy. Also tried two different chanters of the song and all that came to light was an additional half verse (thanks Tich).

"At the gay Casablanca I was very near in stitches,
For the bloody place looked like a coven o' witches.
For half o' them dum de dum.......
And the other half ............."

Looks like it's the end of the trail for this Davie Robertson wee gem, unless there's someone else out there ......?
