“Hurdy Gurdy Man” should be Sting’s adaptation of “Der Leiermann” from Franz Schubert’s “Winterreise” (composed in year 1827) – a classical song for singer and piano.

Nothing to do with Donovan.

Is Hurdy Gurdy Man the same as Donovan's 60's song? I know Sting played a hurdy gurdy on "My Ain True Love", but Donovan's song seems a tad incongruous for this album!
