Violet Tulloch, Queen Of Lerwick

 (To the tune of the same name by Phil Cunningham)

Violet Tulloch, Queen of Lerwick
will you count me in a last time
round and round we go a last time
round and round we go

I remember one september
Violet Tulloch, Queen of Lerwick
Winter on the way one more time
round and round we go

Mists encroaching, frosts grown deeper
becoming the season
there's a ribbon, silken ribbon
winding through the storm 

For you 
see beyond the sky and warmly
lend a hand in leading there
Violet Tulloch, Queen of Lerwick
round and round we go.

Ah that's beautiful Adam.
I think I first came across their music a couple of years ago.💓

Don't worry your pretty little head about it; it's a private matter for folk music colleagues.

One of the great tunes by the great Phil Cunningham. Hearing the tune, the first line screams out as if aleady written and I think every fan should stir their spirit to come up with a set of lyrics. If the best ones were saved to become part of the traditional canon I could die happy.
