Thread Name: Origins: riddle song (I Gave My Love a Cherry)
Subject: RE: riddle song
Willa: a quick scan of their version shows a lack of rhyme.
They rhyme 'Read' (Reeed) with 'Thread' (Thred)
This is because they use "No man can read" (present tense) rather than "No man has read" (past tense)

I'll take my memory over their site (on this occaision)

CHEERS
