April 28

Folk song lyrics

There is an English folk song (modern, not traditional) with the last two lines being:

"And you'll regret The day you took me to see the vet"

It's about a fairy who grants a lonely woman three wishes, and the last one is that her tomcat becomes human. I'm pretty sure it was written in the early 70s, and the singer could be either Fred Wedlock or Ivor Cutler (unlikely) or someone like that.

Any ideas anyone? --TammyMoet (talk) 15:22, 28 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ed Haynes? There is a song about a cat. Bus stop (talk) 15:30, 28 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Nope, don't think so - this bloke was very English, nasal delivery... and I've never heard of Ed Haynes, while this musician was someone whose LP I had (my ex has it now) --TammyMoet (talk) 15:37, 28 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

OK. I didn't think it would be. But it is an interesting song concerning a cat. Bus stop (talk) 15:53, 28 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
