"Lady Eleanor" is a song written by Alan Hull, featured on the first Lindisfarne album, Nicely Out of Tune.
[3] The song features the folk rock band Lindisfarne's characteristic combination of mandolin playing (by Ray Jackson) and close harmony singing.
Its lyrics are inspired by Edgar Allan Poe's short stories "Eleonora" and "The Fall of the House of Usher".
Simon Cowe's lead guitar work betrays the influence of Peter Green, while the song's instrumental coda - like Green's hit composition "Man of the World" - ends on a D major sixth chord.
The song has been covered by a number of acts, including Caterina Caselli, American Gypsy and Lemon.
