Can anyone tell me who authored The Rosabella? On the Warp Four website: http://www.iol.ie/~didly-didly/warp5.html it says: "We know virtually nothing about this song, it must be in a collection somewhere, but we haven't found it yet. It might be modern? Perhaps it's a prime example of the folk process at work? From it's structure it certainly sounds like a capstan song. Sean first heard it on the radio in the 1970s, with a tuba belting out an oom pah pah". I can't find the words in the Digital Tradition database, funnily enough, and the only version I found on the web seemed incomplete and inaccurately traanscribed. Can someeone please point me towards a more authoritative text? Cheers, wudzi
