We are a traditional acoustic band that is constantly being asked to play "Freebird". We thought we would work it up as an American oldtime or Irish tune. We know the tune, just need the lyrics. Can anyone help? Please send to [e-mail], as I don't get a chance to check the message board very often.

Thanks!

Robin

I assume this is the Llynard Skynard (?????? spelling) classic. if so... it's bound to be a the International Lyrics server.

Hi,

Yes it was there, and I did spell it wrong. It's by Lynyrd Skynryd.

I played this song back in my rock'n'roll days. I bet it would sound great as an Irish tune followed by a fast reel or whatever. Much better than De Danaan's version of "Hey Jude."

If you can track down a recording by the Rev. Billy C. Wirtz, hear his song "Stairway to Freebird", about insistent requests for such things. It's hysterical.
