Thread Name: Origins: Ballad of St. Anne's Reel (David Mallett)
Subject: Origins: St.Annes's Reel lyrics, who wrote 'em?
It's me again...another query on song origins. This one I know as 'St. Annes' Reel' and it starts like this: He was stranded in a tiny town on fair Prince Edward Isle, waiting for his ship to come and find him, a one horse place a freindly face some coffee and a tiny trace of fiddlin' in the distance far behind him...anyone know who wrote this gem? Thanks, Karen
