about

Roud 1027. We found this song in the 'Southern Harvest' reprint of Frank Purslow's collection of songs from the Hammond and Gardiner manuscripts. Like the tune for The Sheepstealer, it was sung by George Dowden of Lackington, Dorset in September 1905. Notwithstanding the notes in Southern Harvest, which say "Oral and printed versions vary so little both in tune and text...", this was a new tune to us for this song. Maybe you'll see it as a sympathetic depiction of shy people in love, or maybe you'll get frustrated and want to shout at the two of them to just get on with it.
