@BlakeVII The songs a famous folk tune. Its called SOVAY. Its actually about a female highway woman, who holds up her lover! The song is available on I tunes. Islas version , sung in 'The Song & The Story' is a fantastic version.The one available by her, is a re recorded version.Thanks for the reply! :)

@stevobath That's exactly right! We would have been the same age, sitting down watching the same show at the same time. I'm glad there is someone out there that remembers.

Keep in touch.

@BlakeVII I remember. Ive been looking for it on You Tube. Im not sure if its actually part of a poem. LOREENA McKENNITT sings a song with the same title. I remember Isla singing the song you are talking about.It was in a kids tv show as I remember.I must have been about 13/14. Im now 43 & it has always stuck in my head!
