Reinhard Lyr Req: June Tabor's 'Au logis de mon père' (5) RE: Lyr Req: June Tabor's 'Au logis de mon père' 08 Aug 25


I also should have added the liner notes for June' song:

At my father's house there’s an apple teee, the leaves on it are green and the fruit is sweet. Three fine young girls fell asleep beneath it. The youngest awoke and said "Look, day is breaking". "No", said her sister, "it's not dawn, it's the light of a battle. Our sweethearts are there, fighting for us."

Collected from Adolphus le Ruez of Bonne Nuit, Jersey in 1957. This would seem to be a direct descendant of the Anglo-Norman song "Au Pommier Doux", which has its origin in the 11th century. The tune that follows is of the song "Les trois demoiselles et le cordonnier" from Sark.
