Rozza | Origins: Three Score and Ten (79* d) | RE: Lyr Req: Three Score and ten? | 03 Nov 04 |
The song as sung by the Watersons was collected by the Huddlestons at Filey from "Jack Pearson and men" and is on p.45 of Nigel Huddleston's "Songs of the Ridings" - a photocopy of the broadside is on p.46. William Delf lived in Grimsby in the 1890s (in Victor Street). He was lost at sea in about 1893, aged c.40. |
