The Music of Ralph McTell



The Lyrics to Some of the Songs
Written by Ralph McTell

This is only a "starter pack" and I would strongly recommend that you get one of Ralph's song books from Leola, at one of Ralph's Live Gigs, ebay, Amazon, or anywhere you can.

Time's Poems is a collection of Ralph's song lyrics and poems and is available from the webshop on Ralph's Website at
ralphmctell.co.uk
Along with Allsorts of other goodies.

The Lyrics on this webpage have been put together by fans of Ralph, and it's publication is only to promote his work. There is no intention whatsoever to undermine Ralph's published works, and I hope this comes through in the webpages.

This lyrics page would never have been possible without the input of my very good friend Marianne.


A Full discography of Ralph's songs is at John Beresford's Song List on the excellent Ralph, Albert and Sydney Webpages. Cheers John.
