Anglo Origins: Cawsand Bay (19) RE: Origins: Cawsand Bay 19 Sep 23


Dave Burland sang a (lovely, IMHO) version of the song on his eponymous 1972 album, noting that he found the song "idly leafing through a tome at Cecil Sharp House." I suspect that it was Whall - as Steve G noted above, it's there, in the 4th edition though not in my copy of the 3rd. The tune in Whall is the "Molly Malone" variant given at the top here. Dave used a different tune - it's not The Banks of the Dee, either. Did he write it?
