Subject: RE: Lyr Req: My Grandfather Knew the Plough (Nic Jones
Like Tim Radford, I'm wondering if the name of the songwriter is known, or if it's traditional. Up above, Borchester Echo says it was written by Nic Jones. Can we verify that? Googling gives me the idea that the song may be based on an essay titled "My Grandfather" by W.B. Yeats, but I don't have definitive info on that.
