Subject: RE: Origins: Lloyd's 'Soldier and the Maid'
Thanks for the transcription, Reinhard.
Perhaps Lloyd recorded two versions. The one I have uses the first stanza you give under the Steeleye version, and the lines repeat as they do in "Seventeen Come Sunday."
The questioned word in stanza 7 is definitely "gal." ("Gave a thrilling cry" sounds like Lloyd too.)
I'm interested in the album note just to see if Lloyd names a source.
