Subject: RE: Origins: Gosport Tragedy/ Cruel Ship's Carpenter
Hello Richie
Two from Greig Duncan
[1] THE GOSPORT TRAGEDY
Willie and Nancy of Yarmouth
For the death o" their daughter and baby so fair
In Gosport churchyard and they buried her there.
[2] VILL. THE SHIP"S CARPENTER
{1} In a kitchen in Portsmouth a fair damsel did dwell
Who for beauty and grammar none could her excel
She loved a gay feller whose name it was Vill
And to his trade was a ship"s carpenter
sing Dottle dottle dottle chip chip chip
Turaliday
{2} He led her o"re hills and o"re valleys so deep
Till at last this poor maiden began for to weep
O Villiam I doubt you"ve a led me this way
In order my innocent life to betray
With your Dottle dottle dottle chip chip chip
Turaliday
Sorry I cannot type the two tunes
