Thread Name: Lyr Req: Grand Old Duke of York
Subject: RE: Grand Old Duke of York lyrics
Same tune to Trelawney as mentioned above. Peter Kennedy in notes to the Cornish Section of Folk Songs of The British Isles quotes a Cornish tin miners song .It has lines like " when we're up we're up and when we're down we're down " - referring to the mine. Other songs in the section have similar tunes.
