Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Allan Tyne of Harrow
Great song, Wolfgang. Well worthy of a guersey in the DT. A couple of things I hear differently:

Last line should be Allan Tyne of Harrow (not Yarrow)

Faulkner sings 'me' rather than the grammatically correct 'my' in all cases.

Verse 4: I hear 'I slipped into the woods' (but it's a toss-up with 'slept')

Verse 5: Sounds more like 'Lord Lowndes' and 'Which set his heart a-quiver'

Verse 6: 'That over a five-bar gate'

Verse 7: 'To rob the poor I scorn-ed' and 'In doom I now lie born-ed'

Cheers, Stewie.
