- Looking for words and chords to a song -- the title was something
- like "Fair Flower of Northumberland", and the tag line on each
- chorus was a minor variant of "and you're still the fair flower
- of Northumberland." The story was that some handsome chieftan was
- captured but convinces the local noblemans daughter to free him.
- Has a nice pair of surprises at the end, neither of which I'll
- reveal here. Ring any bells? I've never heard it on record or
- radio, but the person who sang it claimed it was "traditional".
- I'd ask her myself, but haven't seen her in a decade or so.
