Thread Name: Lyr Req: Restless Farewell
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Restless Farewell
'Willie Watson, the Milk Carton Kids, the Punch Brothers. You don't know them if your style of music is mainstream pop. But if you enjoy folk's ever-changing blend of country, blues, gospel, bluegrass, Irish and maybe even a little rock, you don't want to miss Marcus Mumford singing the classic "Restless Farewell," which was also called "The Leaving of Liverpool," in Ireland on a trip around the folk music world.'

Sorry, Gary. That piece of article just above is from the NY Daily News and the part about Restless Farewell being called The Leaving of Liverpool in Ireland sounds like bunk to me. Restless Farewell has some consanguinity with The Parting Glass, but AFAIK not with TLoL. That said, I have no way to hear the song and it is certainly different than Dylan's version according to some stuff I've read. So, my apologies. I cannot help you at this time.
