Sorry, those links lead you to an old address, but it links to the current ones- so it's still useful.

Now you can find some lyrics too, Nora; not just tabs.

I'm looking for some lyrics from the CD "When the circus comes to town" (see other thread: "Lyrics req. Jansch's "Just a dream").

Please, help me!

Is that from Courting Blues? That would be from one of Bert's early albums. (There was a five minute pause while I looked to see if I could lay my hand on the Bert Jansch song book, published in 1967). Found the book. Here are the words:

Green are your eyes in morning when you arise
Don't you be afraid, to lie by me, my love
Your father will not know.

Love can be broken, though no words are spoken
Don't you be afraid to lie, etc.

Love be bold, we're not so old,
Don't you be afraid, etc.

Love don't cry, I'll not try
Don't you, etc.

(Last verse) Love don't cry, I'll not try
Your father will be told someday
About our wedding day.

Hi Phil

Just a big thanks for the lyrics to Courting Blues
I'm re-learning all my old Bert Jansch stuff and
various other obscure late 60's artists to play
down at the local folk club after my daughter nagged me
to death about it.But although I remember the picks , the lyrics
are slowly fading .... old age I guess
Bert has always been my main influence in style and
delivery and the recent appearance on UK T.V.
reminded me of just how much he changed the way I pick -
Fast and Hard

Mark,

   I've always enjoyed Bert's playing. Some of his original songs are just classics as far as I'm concerned. I also think he's done a lot to further interest in traditional music with his arrangements of those songs as well. Ornament tree is one of my favorite Bert albums. After that, Rosemary Lane, Moonshine, A Rare Conundrum are all high on the list. I saw him play in Chicago on a tour with Martin Jenkins in the early '80's. It was just after Avocet was released. Great song selection for the show.

Mark,

As a matter of fact, now that I know where the book is: Yes.

Ask me why a rambler ain't got no home
Ask me why I sit and cry alone.
I wish I knew, if I knew I'd know what to do.

Day in, day out seems I'm running all on my own
Day in Day out, there's a weakness growing in my bones
But it ain't no use; no it ain't no use
My mind is dead I gotta turn my body loose.

Wish mama you could hear the words that I cry
Wish mama now if only I could die
But my time is late; my time is late,
I'm on my own and Lord I've got it straight.

No girl I've loved has ever held me down
No reason can I give for leaving this town
My love is true, now my love is true
But the road is long, gotta see my journey through.

Girl don't deny the freedom that's born in me
Girl don't deny that a rambler must always be free
Someday you'll see, someday you'll see
That my ramblin's gonna be the death of me.

Hi
I'm desperatley looking for the lyrics of "Tell me what is true love?" (Bert jansch "Rosemary lane")
Can anybody help me???

Gene,

    The Bert Jansch song book that I got the other two lyrics from, doesn't have that one. I think Rosemary Lane was just a year or two later.
