Trailer LES 2076 stereo
(Leader Sound Ltd, London)
September 1972
re-released on CD October 2000:
Trailer/Leader LESCD 2076.
In 1972, Mike and Lal joined forces to record an album for the Trailer label, Bright Phoebus, which
is most unlike anything else they ever did, as it features self-penned songs (of which there are none on any of their other
albums) as well as an all-star instrumental backing band, including Richard Thompson and Ashley Hutchings.
Child Among The Weeds
Child among the weeds, don't need no beads.
Just sing him a lullaby, lullaby all the long night through.
An old man in a rocking chair, will need you there.
You have to sing him a lullaby, lullaby, all the warm day too.
But a young man in and among your sheets will leave a seed and weep.
So sing him a lullaby, lullaby, warm day, cold
night too.
Fly bird fly on your raven wing.
Take to the sky and sing for the love of wheeling and turning.
The day has only just begun the silver sun is shining.
Wake up, wake up everyone the day is only dazzling.
Fly bird fly on your raven wing.
Take to the sky and sing for the love of wheeling and turning.
Child among the weeds, don't need no beads.
Just sing him a lullaby, lullaby,
Sing for the love of weeping and burning,
And
sing for the love of wheeling and turning.
Lal Waterson; Bob Davenport
with Richard Thompson and
Martin Carthy (acoustic guitars)
