  • The Unicorn....I just sang that the other day and someone asked me who wrote it! Thanks!

  • Written by George Millar and Will Millar of the Irish Rovers and recorded on the album Tales To Warm Your Mind, trk#3, 1969, Decca Records. The song was also released as a 45 rpm single with "Rhymes And Reason" in 1970 on Decca Records (7)32616. Thanks for sharing. :-)

  • Thanks for the post ... surely used to enjoy the Irish Rovers in their glory...
