Subject: Lyr Add: HARRY THE HAWKER (Martin Graebe) From: GUEST,Skipper Jack Date: 08 Dec 03 - 02:54 PM HARRY THE HAWKER (Martin Graebe) Old Harry the Hawker is dead No more he'll bring his boot hooks and laces And fancy goods from foreign places Old Harry the Hawker is dead Old Harry the Hawker is dead No more he'll bring his knives and forks The finest Sheffield cutlers works Old Harry the Hawker is dead Knives and forks, boots hooks and laces And fancy goods from foreign places Old Harry the Hawker is dead. Old Harry the Hawker is dead No more he'll bring his lamps and candles In holders of brass and graven handles Old Harry the Hawker is dead. Lamps and candles, knives and forks, etc. Old Harry the Hawker is dead No more he'll bring his needles and pins In penny boxes and tupenny tins Old Harry the Hawker is dead Needles and pins, lamps and candles, etc. Old Harry the Hawker is dead No more he'll bring his ribbons and sashes To brighten our hearts with their colourful splashes Old Harry the Hawker is dead Ribbons and sashes, needles and pins, etc. Old Harry the Hawker is dead No more he'll bring his songs and snatches His frisky jigs and cheerful catches Old Harry the Hawker is dead Songs and snatches, ribbons and sashes, etc. Old Harry the Hawker is dead No more he'll bring his jokes and smiles Collected from England's many fair miles Old Harry the Hawker is dead Jokes and smiles. songs and snatches, etc. Harry the Hawker, written by Martin Graebe. |

Subject: Tune Add: HARRY THE HAWKER (Martin Graebe) From: Howard Kaplan Date: 07 May 06 - 11:56 PM This is taken from Martin Graebe's songbook, "Jack in the Green and Other Heroes". What I'm showing here is only the second verse of the cumulative song; you'll need to add more two-measure phrases of the same pattern, just after the second "is dead", as you get to later verses. I've tried to align the words under the corresponding notes. When I submit this to the concertina.net ABC notation displayer, it comes out OK.
