Her second album, the more highly regarded Songs for the Gentle Man, was produced by Ron Geesin, and two more albums followed: Thank You For... (1972), again on Dandelion, and Jumblequeen (1974), on Chrysalis. Commercial success did not follow critical acclaim, and St John lay low for some time, reemerging in the 1990s, and releasing Take the 5ifth in 1996.
Aside from work under her own name, St John has also recorded with Mike Oldfield, Kevin Ayers, and Robin Frederick. There is another recording artist named Bridget St John in Seattle, Washington, USA, who has since changed her stage name to Sweet Punch to avoid confusion.

Ask Me No Questions
Bridget St. John Lyrics
Ask me no questions, tell me no lies if you don′t mind, and come with me.
There, where the sun flies.
There, where the sky is bluer still is where we'll be.
Take nothing with you.
I′ll give you everything I can, have no fear.
For if you stumble, or should you fall down on the way, I'll be there.
Close your eyes, my love.
Close your eyes, gently, come.
And in the morning, don't tell a soul of what you saw, it′s just for you.
Keep this a secret, make me a promise that you will.
I′ll make one too.
Close your eyes, my love.
Close your eyes, gently, come.
Ask me no questions, tell me no lies if you don't mind, and come with me.
There, where the sun flies.
There, where the sky is bluer still is where we′ll be.

definitely one of the most nostalgic and melodious folk albums ever written; We love you Bridget

Thank you so much. I've bought all of her albums. This song is probably my favorite, and to me it evokes a whole world, a lifestyle, of what is best from that hippie era; some kinder, gentler, greener way of life... Hugs to Bridget.

Fantastic song great lyrics - transports you to the peace and tranquility of a countryside walk through the woods by a beautiful stream. Relaxed comfortable and contented.
Steve Andrews
One of my favourite songs by any artist ever!

I think she has been hugely underrated (in that her name is not familiar to most people outside the folk/folk-blues canon). She has never produced a song that I haven't found compelling. While comparisons are invidious, there's a sense of mystery in her work that brings to mind Nick Drake. Something other-worldly.

A brilliant album from a magic time
paul levine
learning guitar from John Martyn she couldn't have been in better hands, Amazing voice and hands back in my high school days we had 2 guys renting the basement in our hippie house, one had Bridgets lp ask me no questions, I was just learning guitar & while messing around , he knocked on the door & said listen to this record, I was floored by her playing & stunning voice, when I went to give it back he smiled & said your hooked eh.!!! yes I am and still are , i turned him on to Jorma Kaukonen..
Josie king
I used to play this over and over again, very moving
Sharon Lecluyse

Lord Fab Furs
She plays, sounds and even looks like Nick, but from the same year
I love her already
