sue@questor-cp.demon.co.uk | Origins: The Mower (24) | RE: The Mower/Ile (Isle) de France | 13 Oct 98 |
I don't think this is the same song. The lyrics to 'The Mower' begins...'A mower in the month of June...' & goes on to describe the fact that the mower in the song has lost his wife & children, & God is taking them in the same way as he scythes the grass. The Ile de France describes the transportation of a prisoner whose convict ship is sunk; he is recued & given a posthumous pardon because he is thought to have been drowned. |
