Pilgrim | Lyr Req: While (Whilst ?) London Sleeps (21) | Lyr Req: While (Whilst ?) London Sleeps | 24 Jan 07 |
A gentleman from our folk club sang this song one Tuesday night. Apparently it was written in the 1850s, and has about thirty verses by the time it is done. A look through the older books in the pub, and my searches of the internet, revealed nothing. Yet when the fellow sang it, a lady near me said her grandmother used to sing it. She couldn't even remember the chorus though. It would be lovely to ultimately do this chap a recording, but we'll see how we go. |
