Thread Name: Lyr Req: Delyow Syvy (Cornish)
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Delyow Syvy
I'm sorry to see this slip off the edge as I was curious to learn more. Could I venture to ask: isn't Delyow Syvy more the tune than the song?   Or is it a case of so many changes over time that the actual references to Delyow Syvy have dropped away?

I know I had problems 'engaging' with the question because there was no such song listed in FBI (Kennedy) but, fiddling around a bit in the Mudcat archives, I'm assuming we're talking about "Pelea Era Why Moaz", yes?

I only know the Welsh "where are you going" ones, of course, and the tunes are completely different. Can't think of any Strawberry referenes either.

I'd love to know more and Kennedy (about my least favourite source) doesn't help much.
