GUEST,arnie.spilman@diageo.com Origins: Wild Rose / Heidenroeslein (Goethe) (45) RE: Follett School Songbook Index PermaThread 19 Sep 05

In the 50's at my primary school we sang a song containing the following lyrics:

"Wild red rose, red rose of May on the moorland growing".
and
"Said the rose I'll prick you now, on the moorland growing"
coupled with
"Blood was freely flowing".

Real Victoriana in style and very redolent of my time in the classroom.

There was another, called "The Far Coolians" (perhaps?). Contained lots of references to scottish islands.

All very sketchy I know, but could you help?

Any info or guidance greatly appreciated.
