there was a song in the the 70's which contained the lyris"king edward
the first the death of llewellyn to...both men looked different froma
afar, but in their heart you know they wore the same scar..go down, go
down, down where the devil is fighting...etc" Do you have any idea as
to the title or artist

I have been sitting here with that song running through my head! I
could hear the song's melody in my mind, but I just couldn't place it.

Suddenly I remembered who performed the song. I am certain that The
New Riders of the Purple Sage song "Llywellyn" is the song you're
looking for. "Llywellyn" is on the album "Marin County Line." Here are
some lyrics that I transcribed from an audio clip:

Each man looked different from afar
But in their hearts you know they bore the same scar
It was
Go down
Go down 
Down where the devil is fighting
Strangest thing I've ever seen...

To verify that this is the correct song, you can listen to a clip of
"Llywellyn" here (scroll down the page about halfway):

Amazon: Marin County Line

I hope this is helpful! If I have misidentified your song, please
request clarification; I'll be glad to offer further assistance before

Oops. I put too many L's in the song's name. According to a couple of
sources, "Llywelyn" (note spelling) was written by Stephen Love, a
member of The New Riders of the Purple Sage.
