23 May 03 - 10:05 AM (#958196) Subject: Lyr Req: Donovan's 'Celtic Rock' From: Matt_R I've been trying to dig up the lyrics of this gem from Donovan's album "Open Road" but have so far been unsuccessful. The song begins: Down down down in the murky gloom Trolls go marching two by two Further lyrics reference words and names I can't decipher, possibly Gaelic ones. If anyone could help me out, I'd be more than thankful. |
