04 Nov 00 - 02:10 AM (#334279) Subject: RE: ADD LYR: Star O' The Bar From: Murray MacLeod At last, Davie Robertson makes it to Mudcat. Has he recorded his parody of "Up the Norran Water" yet? Probably the funniest song I have ever heard. If anyone knows Jim Reid's original adaptation of the poem and would like to have Davie's parody, I think I can remember the words. Murray |
