In the DigiTrad Forum, back in 1997, this song was mentioned in passing in a list of lyric requests for Newfoundland Songs. No one seemed to be familiar with it at that time, so I am bringing it back onto the board in the hope someone may yet find the lyrics.

Lara Maynard commented on "The Old Flatrock Hills" in the traditional dance section which she authored on the Heritage Newfoundland site. She said it contained lyrics about river bridge dancing, a traditional place to have a party in days gone by. She quoted the following lyrics:

On the Big River Bridge on an evening in June,
To enjoy the village dancing by the light of the moon;
To hear the sound of happy laughter and an old time quadrille,
In mind I'll still be there on the old Flatrock hills.

Anyone?
