Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Rose, Rose, Rose (Round)
I heard a completely different tune to Ah, Poor Bird, where the tune of Heigh, Ho is completely different from Rose Red as well. These words were as follows:

Rose, Rose, Rose Red
Will I ever see thee wed?
I will marry at thy will, sire
at thy will.

Heigh, ho, nobody home
meat nor drink nor money do I own.
Still I will be very very merry merry
ho.

Ah, poor bird,
Take thine flight!
Up above the sorrows of this
sad night.
