(is her name pronounced Sinjin, or St. John?) I always thought that "Uncle Rat's Consent" would be a good name for an oldfield cover band. I also figure that Froggy is probably going to have to walk when he goes courting. He's not going to get very far trying to use airliners or metro trains while armed with sword and pistol. Looking forward (ugh) to the future when this traditional folk song has been sanitized of the weapons. -------------- "In the land of the Dacotahs, Where the Falls of Minnehaha Flash and gleam among the oak-trees, Laugh and leap into the valley." - Song of Hiawatha Back to top

The line "And they all got swallowed by a big fat snake" is apparently wrong, despite this is how  the lyrics sound.  Assuming this line is an error, does anyone know the real lyrics.  I also understand there's a version with Mike signing the lyrics in German, has this ever been officially released?  Does anyone know if the German version is available anywhere? Please   -------------- I'm going slightly mad, It finally happened, I'm slightly mad , just very slightly mad If you feel a little glum to Hergest Ridge you should come.
