The six songs with music were taken down by Mrs. Alice Pashley.
[Defries, Amelia, The Fortunate Islands, (London: Cecil Palmer, 1929, p.xxi)]


Notes: I believe Alice Pashley had already moved on to Trinidad some years before The Fortunate Islands chapters were reissued/published in 1929 (the artist is something of a legend in T&T.) Unlike Van Campen Heilner's Under the Southern Cross/Motor Boating compilation that followed in 1930 however, Defries wrote for more than one periodical and added much more new material. I'm still running down all the original articles just to be sure there's no earlier songbook. For present at least, this is the first appearance of the Pashley lyrics and the first music of any source appearing in print.

One of the other six songs is a version of Delia Gone which can be seen here:

Origins: Delia / Delia's Gone (61* d)
