recognizes the artist. Thanx!
It was early one mornin' Willie Leonard arose
And straight to his comrade's chamber he goes
Crying comrade, loyal comrade let nobody know
It is a fine summer's mornin' and a' bathin we'll go.
To the lake of Cul Fen two comrades then came
And who should they meet but the keeper of Cain
Turn back, Willie Leonard, do not venture in..
There is deep and dark water 'round the lake of Cul Fen.
Ah but Willie jumped in, and he swam the lake 'round.
He swam for all Ireland, it was soft and even.
Crying comrade, loyal comrade, do not follow me in..
There is deep and dark water 'round the lake of Cul Fen.
It was early that mornin' Willie's sister arose
And straight to her mother's chamber she goes
"I dreamed a sad dream about Willie last night;
He came to my room in a shroud of snow white."
Willie's mother arose and she went to the lake

(forgot verse.....)
There were four and twenty young men
All dressed in White
There were four and twenty young maids
All dressed in green
Just to show that Willie drowned in the lake of Cul Fen
Just to show that Willie drowned in the lake of Cul Fen

That's a traditional Irish song and could have been
recorded by any number of artists. If it's really important
to know who did that particular version, your best bet
would be to contact someone at the radio station.
This site gives lyrics for the song and says it was done by
the Oyster Band, a British folk group:
