Subject: Lyr Req: Looking for name of song and lyrics From: GUEST,Aogan Date: 08 Apr 08 - 02:44 PM Hi, I'd be grateful if anyone could help me with a very vague request. I heard a beautiful folk song about political rebellion in England - might have been called 1641 or 1649, or that could be its name also? Thanks, A. |
