Lady Franklin's Lament:
"I dreamed a dream, and thought it true."

Midnight on the Water; I think someone mentioned that.

The Lonesome Roving Wolves; Rosalie Sorrels used to sing this quietly and unaccompanied and raise your hair up.

And a fragment of something that Steeleye Span slipped between the verses of The Weaver and The Factory Maid:
Oh, when I was a tailor, I carried my bodkin and shears ...
And wherever I go, here's the jolly bold weaver again

Never found any more to it than the one verse. The harmonies (Maddy Prior and Maddy Prior ) stay in my head always.
