Thread Name: Lyr Req: Otterby in the Wolds
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Otterby in the Wolds
This is a tough one. "Otterby in the Wolds" (in quotes) turns up nothing in Google. Neither does "Otterby in the", "Otterby of the", "Otterby on the", or "Otterby by the". Neither does OTTERBY WOLD (without quotes) or OTTERBY WOLDS.

The Gazetteer of British Place Names did not list "Otterby" and neither did the Getty Thesaurus of Geographic Names.

"Otterby" alone gets 640 hits on Google, but they seem to be mainly personal names.

The closest thing I found to a musical connection was a reference to Nigel Chippindale's 'Otterby Band'.

Guest Ray: Can you give us ANY more information about the song? Such as, who performed it? What it's about? Can you quote any lines from it?
