Bruce O.	Lyr Req: The Humour Is on Me Now (26)	RE: Lyr Req: I will and I must get married	26 Dec 99
In the 'Burl Ives Songbook' it's called "Lolly To Dum". It probably comes from a broadside. C. M. Simpson in 'The British Broadside Ballad and Its Music' quotes a verse of a 19th century broadside balad "The Fit Comes On Me Now" as : It was on a Easter Monday, in the spring time of the year, A mother and her daughter, as you shall quickly hear, Jane said as they were walking, I'll tell you what I'll do, I must and will get married the fit comes on me now. I don't have any more of it, and its probably much older, because a broadisde ballad of 1665 called for the tune "The Fit's come on me now". The 17th century tune is B140 on my website.
