Lyr Req: Across the Blue Mountains

From: scouse

I was watching Alan Burke singing Thursday night and he sang a song called,"Blue Mountains." dealing with a girl who runs of with a married man.He got the song from a wee lass who sang it to him over the phone and she got it from her Mother. The song from the Appalachion region Alan believes. Somehow the song seemed to ring a bell in the back of the old Brain Bin. Please can anyone help. thanks Phil. Smiles.......... :-)

It's right there: ACROSS THE BLUE MOUNTAIN in the DT.

Howcum so many people post a request to the forum without trying a search of the DT first?

I put blue mountains in the search engine and found nothing in place of blue mountain a simple fault. Please don't be so condescending it doesn't become mudcatters but maybe in your case one could make an exception.

When I saw the thread title, I thought someone was asking the question about what kind of hats Mudcatters wear? - You know, deKalb, Red Sox, Ford, Cowboy....

Might not have much to do with music but it would be more even-tempered! *BG*

Me too, Sourdough. I never wear a hat. Have a thick head of hair like a blanket and can't stand any thing over it. If I had to wear one, it would be a Met's cap.

By the way, I don't like John Hartford's derby. Let's see where this leads.

I haver a battered old felt broadbrimmed hat that I wear a lot. I can crumple it and stuff it in my saddlebag and it more or less will come back to shape. I wear it in the mountains on my gold-prospecting trips. It is dirty and has a couple of (insect) holes and doesn't hold water so well any more.

A while back my ladylove gave me a new hat. Of course, I never wear it. It either is too good to risk dirtying or lacks the lomg association to be truly comfortable. I do try to wear it when I go places with her, though.
