Thread Name: Origins: Rosemary Lane (aka Home Dearie Home)
Subject: RE: Origins: Rosemary Lane aka Home Dearie Home
thanks for all the replies. I don't think it's related to the "oak and ash" tunes. It was a tune apparently popular with sailors and in the Home Dearie Home has a much happier ending than in Rosemary Lane.
