Thread Name: Lyr Req: 'I Once Had a Husband'
Subject: Lyr Req: 'I Once Had a Husband'
Request via my dad, who is trying to help a fellow care-home resident track down a presumably old poem or possibly song with "I Once Had A Husband" as the opening line. The lady in question thinks it may have been called "The Crofter's Lament" but the opening line's all she can remember.
I'm *guessing* it's probably humorous, and dating back a fair way (as they're both in their 80s).
