GUEST,Mick Pearce (MCP) Lyr Req: Down Came the Blind (from Harry Champion (11) RE: Lyr Req: Down Came the Blind (from Harry Champion 28 May 18


LFF - I saw that this morning when I was looking for the audio. That version still has some minor errors which are corrected in the transcription above (from Harry Champion's recording).

I did find a better recording on youtube than the one linked above at Harry Champion - Down Came The Blind / Never Let your Braces Dangle (1910). It's still got the hiss and crackles but doesn't have the musical noise of the other copy. It did let me hear that in v2 where the m/c transcription has Y'all, it it just plain You're (as in the monologues transcription)>. Otherwise I'd stand by the m/c version.

(There are some minor alterations in the chorus repeats not listed above, dropping/changing the odd word at the start of lines).

Mick
