Anyone know the words to this old piece?
Can't find it on the sites I've tried. Is there a 60's music site?

Hey Dana,
Try the search for Gilbert O'Sullivan who recorded that song and you might be able to find it that way....Have a good 'un, Jerry

I always associate that song with the hostage situation at the Munich Olympics, the song was a hit during that time.

| Good song! Touching lyrics, unique melody, and an interesting chord progression...songs like that don't come around very often. Too bad Gil couldn't do more of those. |

Thanks, Guys!
I sing at a lot of old folks homes so I am always adding old music to my show. I just happened to come upon this tune, so it's mainly for myself, but I couldn't remember the words.

In response to Donny: You're right. Someone else who had really unique songs with interesting chord progressions was Gary Lewis. I always liked Green Grass.

A very talented writer who was, sadly, exploited by his manager, I believe that 'Gilbert' eventually won an enormous law-suit and was compensated with a multi-million Pound settlement. He appeared to lose his appetite for the music business after that.
I was lucky enough to do a couple of guitar overdubs on one or two of his tracks back in the '70s - I found him to be a shy and retiring man who had been subjected to a ludicrous marketing ploy ( a 'play-on-words' for a stage name, and dressed up as a 1920's Northern England working-man). His material was easily strong enough to stand on its own merit.
I know about the dressing-up bit, because that same manager, the late-Gordon Mills (he also guided Tom Jones and Engelbert Humperdinck - he was fixated with that 'name' thing) managed OUR band and, prior to putting us on 'Top Of The Pops' (UK 'pop' show), he insisted on me dressing up as 'John Bull'! Of course, in our case, we needed all the 'edge' we could get...
