I saw this movie the other day, heard a ballad which began--"lay me down on the cold ground..." and cannot find out anything else about it. I believe it is sung by a Scotsman. Quite haunting. Can anyone point me in the right direction.

Could it possibly be this one? Title is Danny's Hard Life, and it contains the line "lay me down on the cold hard ground". That was about all I found.

Someone gave a link to the song from the film about 4 weeks ago if you can use the filter. Best to follow the link in that site to the main film site where there is a sample of the tune. I expect someone will do the link in a minute , if not I will put in the addresses.

OK, Keith, I'll see if I can find that. In the meantime, I found this page which has clips of the songs in the movie. Maybe he would recognize a sound clip.
