[SEL] OT........bush fires in Australia

[James Moran]

Because this is an "off topic" thread of limited  interest and that I don't want to invite the wrath of the "purists", I  will recommend the following for those who would wish to read the  lyrics to Jame Keelaghan's "Cold Missouri Waters".
  
 Using  Yahoo or some such, type in "Cold Missouri Waters" on the search  line.  You will be directed to a site called "mysongbook" and,  unless I am very wrong, these wonderful, poignant lyrics will pop  up.  If any of you are further compelled, I would advise that you  secure a download of the piece.  One British gentleman offered to  forward an MP3 of the song, but you should be able to stream in order  to enjoy it.
  Just a thought.
