Hi,

TY Steve, Lighter.

Most are:
Roud 60 Brisk Young Lover
       Foolish Young Girl; Irish Boy
Roud 495 I Wish I wish
Roud 18828 Maiden's Prayer ("She was a maiden young and fair")

I noticed a sub-set of Roud 60 called "There's an Alehouse" and after looking at the versions the first stanza of Brisk Young Sailor is left off almost as if it was once added on. I think that's why MacColl didn't mention the Brisk Young Lover songs.

I'm wondering also about Pitman's Love song and the 'I Wish I wish" songs. Is there a relationship? Lloyd apparently thought they were related.
