Subject: Lyr Req: The Orange Tree From: GUEST,Ian Pittaway Date: 24 Jun 06 - 04:27 AM Cecil Sharp collected The Orange Tree from William Pittaway at Burford, Oxfordshire, in 1923. Unfortunately, Sharp only noted the tune and the first verse - and I cannot find any other versions anywhere. The first verse goes as follows:
'Twas in the month of May when flowers they were gay, Does anyone have the rest? |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: The Orange Tree From: GUEST,Ian Pittaway Date: 24 Jun 06 - 06:13 AM Thanks, Mick, but aaagggggghhhhhhhhh! That's SO frustrating. Whether Cecil Sharp didn't bother with the rest or William Pittaway only knew the first verse I suppose we'll never know (unless someone has information to say otherwise). So, in that case, and because I would like to sing this song, can anyone suggest words from another song I could 'borrow' that would scan to fill in further verses? |
