Many years ago I used to go to the Barnsley Civic folk club and I used to love the song "fairytale Lullaby" sung by Dave Burland. Does anyone remember the same? Has anyone any information they can provide e.g. obtaining the song, lyrics, chords, tune.

Thanks in anticipation.

Ian

Could it be Dave's cover of John Martyn's "Fairytale Lullaby?" I have a recording of Derek Brimstone doing it, too. Does it have the chorus that starts: If you want your friends to come....?" If that's the song I believe the lyrics are posted somewhere on John Martyn's website. There should be several links on google if you put in his name.

Fairy Tale Lullaby

If you want to ride a rainbow, come with me
And I will take you to the magic purple sea
Maybe we will find a thousand sugar fish
When you eat them they will grant your every wish
And if you want your friends to come
Then bring them all along.

If you want to catch a star then walk my way
I will take you where the night is always day
You can follow me if you really try
Maybe we will find a rainbow to teach it to fly
And if you want your friends to come
Then bring them all along.

I will take you through the magic dancing wood
And I will take you where the goblins are all good
I will take you where the elves and pixies do sing
And I will take you round the magic fairy ring
And if you want your friends to come
Then bring them all along.

Bow your head and let your eyelids close on down
Where we're going you won't need to bring your frown
You will find that all the things that I have said
Will come true when you are lying in your bed
And if you want your friends to come
Then bring them all along.
