A FOLKSINGERS DILEMMA

Words & Music – Graham & Bernadette Dixon (Trouble at’ Mill)

I heard a song at the singers night
The melody It got stuck in my head
I sang the chorus all the long drive home
And I hummed the tune as I lay in bed
The sweetest song I've ever heard
I wish I'd written down the words
It really is an dreadful curse
When you've found a chorus but you've lost the verse
It went .

La La ------------

The chords were strummed on an old guitar
Then came a voice so clear and strong
A song of love and Peace on earth
It seemed the whole world sang along
The sweetest song I've ever heard
I wish I'd written down .the words
It really is an dreadful curse
When you've found a chorus but you've lost the verse
it went

La La ------------

I oft go back to that open mic
with a need to hear the song again
But thirty years have passed and gone
All that left is the sweet refrain
The sweetest song I've ever heard
I wish I'd written down the words
It really is an dreadful curse
When you've found a chorus but you've lost the verse
It went .

La La ------------

Inspired by Bernadette’s habit of singing in the morning and getting stuck on a couple of lines which she sings over and over again.
