Subject: RE: Origins: All Around My Hat
Brian,may think there is a similarity in tune. so?/. there are similarities in tune between tramps and hawkers and the homes of donegal, but the lyrics are different the lyrics of on one april morning, and the transportation/broken token ballad... all around my hat are very different. the version recorded by steeleye is a homoeginised version that is senseless, the version i remember... which predates the steeleye rubbish, is a broken token ballad, which april morning is not.
