Sure it was. Like you're telling me something I didn't know? Like I said, it's from the film 'The Squid and the Whale'. I don't know why you'd take issue with that statement of fact. Jeeze.

@dannygodeep This song was around long before The Squid and the Whale.

I must say I always thought this was a great song first came accross the McGarrigles do it years ago. Thanks for the memory

Also loved the McGarrigles version

I also loved the girlish, almost frail-sounding cover version by his then-wife, Kate McGarrigle and her sister Anna on their mid-'70s debut album

One of my favourite books - Waterlog by Roger Deakin - opens with the lyrics of this song. I hadn't heard the song until now. I can see why he used it!
