Can anyone lend me assisstance?

I have this fragment of a James Keelaghan song stuck in my head:

"The last time I saw him/he'd been swallowed by the wood; I'd have followed if I could He'd have stayed had he wanted."

THIS IS ALL I KNOW. IT'S BUGGING THE HELL OUT OF ME. I KEEP SINGING IT OVER AND OVER AGAIN.

Can somebody PLEASE help me out with the lyrics, or at least direct me to a recording of this song? It's eroding my sanity!

Danke, knicke knickerson

Knicke, the song you are looking for is called Rebecca's Lament, telling the story of a woman's love for the indian chief Tecumseh. It's on Keelaghan's 1990 recording "Small Rebellions" (Tranquilla TMCD-002). Sorry but I don't have the lyrics available.
