   I did wonder, but a search for ...   
       "three foot seam" lyrics song   
   ... had found only a couple of references to Anne Price's version  (lyrics I   
   couldn't check through requiring some plug-in or other  -  I like to keep my   
   browsing experience austerely simple  -  but apparently learned from Gary &   
   Vera Aspey) and many, many references to "Ballad Of Springhill".  And as   
   ISTRC that Gary & Vera Aspey used to do the latter, and the phrase 'Hope   
   imprisoned in a three-foot seam' appears in it, I presumed that this was the   
   song being referred to.   
      
   PS of no particular relevance: I once visited Raleigh on business, courtesy   
   of IBM, and the highlight of the trip was a visit to a stunning Japanese   
   restaurant, where the chefs cooked the meal on a hotplate in front of us,   
   juggling with all the kitchen utensils  -  an experience I'll never forget!
