Banish Misfortune
Okay, if I wasn't clear and explicit enough the first time:
1. Speakers ON / Mute OFF
2. Click on Banish Misfortune
There's Richard Thompson playing this marvelous traditional Irish air on his acoustic guitar.
3. Rescue me! Help! Aidez-moi! M'aidez! Hilfe! I've fallen into YouTube and I can't get out!
4. Here's maybe my all-time fave Richard Thompson tune. This was also a County crossover hit for Patty Loveless, whoever the heck she is.

Tear Stained Letter
Copyright (c) 1998 by Richard Thompson
from the album Celtschmerz: Live UK ’98
It was three in the morning when she took me apart
She wrecked the furniture, she wrecked my heart
She danced on my head like Arthur Murray
The scars ain't never going to mend in a hurry
Just when I thought I could learn to forget her
Right through the door come a tear-stained letter
Oh, oh, oh love love
Cry, cry if it makes you feel better
Set it all down in a tear-stained letter
Oh, oh, oh love love love
Cry, cry if it makes you feel better
Set it all down in a tear-stained letter
Well my head was beating like a song by the Clash
Writing cheques that my body couldn't cash
Got to my feet, I was reeling and dizzy
Went for the phone but the line was busy
Just when I thought things were getting better
Right through the door come a tear-stained letter
Oh, oh, oh love love
Cry, cry if it makes you feel better
Set it all down in a tear-stained letter
Oh, oh, oh love love love love
Cry, cry if it makes you feel better
Set it all down in a tear-stained letter
Well I like coffee and I like tea
But I just don't like this fiddle-di-dee
Makes me nervous, gives me the hives
Waiting for a kiss from a bunch of lies
Just when I think I could learn to forget her
Right through the door come a tear-stained letter
Oh, oh, oh love love love
Cry, cry if it makes you feel better
Set it all down in a tear-stained letter
Oh, oh, oh love love
Cry, cry if it makes you feel better
Set it all down in a tear-stained letter
Oh, oh, oh
Cry, cry if it makes you feel better
Set it all down in a tear-stained letter
