I'd like to learn the song I've heard Dave and Anni sing several times - it mentions "a long trip to Borneo", and the chorus ends with "For I am old and I am blind".

It's really beautiful, but unfortunately I can't remember the title so couldn't find it in Mudcat Search engine.

Help!!!

Thanks - but I still can't find it. It's not in the Mudcat search under that name.

It's here in the Mudcat - Ken Cockrell wrote it for Vic Simpson, but it seems to have grown several versions since then. Many of them (including the original) are in this thread Borneo, Kens Song, Song for Vic.

Hi, Alio! It turns up if you search - borneo - in the list of Forum Results.

In searching, use one word or as little of a phrase as possible, otherwise one may fail because of someone's bad spelling, grammar, or unlikely title. Do not use caps or quotation marks, etc. to set off your search word or words. Try several before you give up.

(And don't worry if you fail occasionally- a few are really hidden).

Not soon enough
For this impatient mind" !
