Subject: RE: Origins: Weela Weela Walia /Wela Wolla
Has anyone come across the version as sung by Wrigley Head Morris Men having stolen and probably mis-learnt, the song from Chris ? at Newtown,Powys, Folk Festival about 20 years ago.
The verses are sung normally but instead of the weelia/wallia chorus it uses the following chorus to a different tune:-


Down by the Walnut tree.
Down by the Sea,where the Walnuts grow,I left my love and dare not go.
Down by the Sea,where the Walnuts,grow,I left my love and dare not
go.

And I wish I could do the dots for you but I can't so there, it doesn't mean I not a good person!
