hello everyone, as you can probably tell im new here ,i have an unhealthy interest in folk music especially irish folk, but i can be persuaded to listen to all kinds of folk especially cajun and bluegrass.However my main reason for posting this request is to try and achieve a goal from 1972. At that time my local radio station in Manchester ,England was Piccadilly, they ran a programme called Folkspan every week and on one occasion i caught the last few minutes of a song performed by Fairport Convention with Sandy Denny as vocalist . Now my question , does any one know where i can obtain , look at or download song lyrics for the band, i only have a very brief couple of lines from the end of the song , but it was such a fantastic sound that i have been trying to find it since then any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks Russ..

Have you tried typing the lyrics into google and searching?
I'm sure if you typed them here, someone would identify the song for you.

If you post the lyrics that you have on here, I should think one of us could identify the song for you. Welcome to the forum  Smiley Do stick around.

To echo the others post the lyrics and be amazed at the collective knowledge, there are some that will know even if it was only performed one time.

Also welcome

Ok, 1972; Sandy Denny.  That limits it already.  Let's have a sweepstake.  I'm feeling something Leige & Lief.

It refreshing to know that I'm not the only one here who has watched too many episodes of HOGAN'S HEROS.........made the difference between a passing and failing grade in German, I believe!
