Subject: Tune for Norfolk and Good From: GUEST,bernjen@tiscali.nl Date: 21 Jan 06 - 05:43 AM I heard the song "Norfolk and Good" many years ago and recently found the lyrics again. I also wish to get the tune that went with it. Does anybody know where I can find this please - I have tried Googling and also share-ware but come up blank. Many thanks. Bern |
Subject: Kipper Family (+ Lyr corr) From: Snuffy Date: 03 Dec 00 - 10:03 AM About ten years ago I became the accidental owner of a tape someone had made of 2 Kipper Family albums. But it was just the tape - no box, no liner, no notes, not even any titles. I now find that seven songs on the tape are in the DT with no tunes, so I have transcribed the tunes. At the same time I am taking the opportunity "correct" the words in the DT. These may have been transcribed from other recordings, broadcasts or live performances, and thus be "correct" anyway, but they are certainly different to what I have. 920 DOVER STRAND The song is a parody of Six Dukes Went A-Fishing, which is in the DT and the Penguin Book of English Folksongs. In the original the body was found at Dover, but here it should be Overstrand, two miles east of Cromer. The other places in the song should be Northrepps, Southrepps and Knapton, which are all close to Overstrand (and Trunch). In verse 2 it is Southrepps where he was born and Northrepps where he was known. The recording has an additional verse after V2, which is very close to the original: I opened his bowels and pulled out his feet And I garnished him over with parsley so sweet.

The version in the DT has so many differences to the recording that it is easier to give that in whole, rather than point out each individual variation.
