GUEST,Bob Coltman Origins: Lolly Toodum (17) RE: Origins: Lolly Toodum 18 Jan 17

Looking again at the Belden and JSTOR material so far as I can see the latter, I believe I erred in drawing the conclusion that "Polly Holman's Wedding" was the name of the 1837 song.

Far from it, the name of Irving's article is "Polly Holman's Wedding," but as I can see only the first page of it, what the song may be called is more than I can guess.

JSTOR members, anyone? Can you help resolve what the 1837 song text and title are?

Bob
