And ... Another Alphabet Quiz.

Here's another complete alphabet, this time entirely made up of songs. Answers, as usual, on the forum.

A - Where would you wear it for a distant lover? Or is it farewell he?
B - Almost the perfect place for a shirtless miner.
C - You may hear the first of May and the last of June, but she'll tell you no lies.
D - Morris dancers may try to do it, but the real threat comes from the French, so they say.
E - At daybreak, his Mary sings in the valley and laments idle promises.
F - Ladies the worse for wear lose their coats, dresses and all.
G - The gunner kills his shape-changing stepson, as well as the child's father.
H - The roast beef of Old England gets decidedly tough. Pity the tradesman.
I - Irish comic sea song may have been written by Fred Weatherley. He certainly gets about a bit!
J - A mirror image of the Three Wise Men ends up in the pub.
K - Sylvan sexual activities are thinly veiled, but what kind of game is this?
L - Song for a corpse walk or a vigil. Learn the lesson and avoid the pain.
M - Advice for young ladies. Eschew superannuated partners.
N - He'd like some summer loving, but she's got a serious allergy.
O - Rural mystery - the farmer does his stuff, but who can tell what happens next?
P - A thorny problem - if he can get out, he won't be back in a hurry.
Q - She may dance, she may be kissed, but it's all done merrily.
R - Beautiful old man prepares to fiddle.
S - Well known Scottish Jacobite song, written by English Harry.
T - A pair of birds from the tower comment cynically on loyalty.
U - Aylesbury inn is a bit of a roller coaster!
V - Some French animals, in pairs, getting out of the rain.
W - The sentence may be harsh, but at least the shackles are personalised!
X - A large crowd, a couple of dozen at least, and all of them feared of a snail.
Y - Burns song, to a Scottish air he got from an Englishman.
Z - African military leader held down for drinking song.

If you do as well as for the previous quizzes, it should probably take about 3 hours or so. Collaboration is strongly encouraged and comments about songs, tunes, writers, performers (or anything else) are very welcome.

Good luck. Ian
