For years I have wished GL would record "Partners". He sang this in concert quite often in the 70s. It's a novelty tune about two miners stranded in a blizzard, one of whom resorts to cannibalism! For anyone interested, complete lyrics can be found on Wayne Francis' site, under the Unreleased Songs header. As I recall, this tune was always a crowd pleaser and the lyrics are very clever.
