Thanks for posting the lyrics - I found this in an
1978 interview with Stan by DJ, John McLaughlin,
at Mariposa

PS. Whilst I'd heard of Stan (and his brother Garnet), it
wasn't until recently, when staying with friends of a friend
in Winnipeg earlier this year, that I first heard any of his
recordings. One evening, during my stay, my hosts invited
a whole load of their friends round for a music party/session -
seems I was the only person in the room who didn't know
the words to "Barrett's Privateers"!!
PPS. I see, in the same interview, that Stan was a big
fan of the Paul Brady & Andy Irvine album (one of my all
time favourites too) and said, "My brother and I have a
duet guitar version of "Arthur McBride" from that album
all worked out." Did they ever record this, do you know?
