Lyrics nicked from the bible

>'She Moved Through the Fair.' 

The normal recorded version is the Sandy Denny one.
All about Eve did a good version too.
Also, Simple Minds took the tune, put completely
different words to it and released it as Belfast Child,
which I think made No. 1 in the UK.

>Also, I heard a year or so ago that the *most covered*
>song of all time was 'Yesterday.' I haven't heard all 
>of them, but I doubt any of them outdid Paul on guitar

...with the  original words:
"Scrambled eggs. Oh I thought that she had lovely legs"

Cheers
Martin
