Its full title is 'The Lailly Worm and the Mackerel of the Sea' and the song tells a story that is so bizarre that it leaves you asking so many questions when you listen to it. Only a traditional song could get away with such weirdness and it is one of the reasons why traditional music is so fascinating.   All text, images and music samples on this site are copyright © Childe Rolande.
