Thread Name: Lyr Req: This cruel country? / Withered and Died
Subject: RE: R Thompson - This cruel country
Another job for the "Digitrad and Forum Search", which you will find on the main Forum page.  A search for this cruel country will find you a past discussion where the words were posted under their right name:

Withered and Died

The text here is more true to Thompson's original than is that at the Costello site.  Often, if you aren't sure about the name of a song, a search for a recognisable phrase from it will find what you are looking for.
