Thread Name: Lyr Req: Married to a Turk / The Errant Apprentice
Subject: LYR.REQ.
Some time ago I heard a song sung at a session about a bloke who joined the army & lost his true love who was......married to a Turk. It included such immortal lines as "around the town's perimiter he chased me with his scimitar" and "with Ottoman obscenities he grabbed for my extremities" and so on. Whose is this and does anyone have the words. It's a yell! Jonathan.
