ABOUT THE BUSH, WILLY

About the bush, Willy,
About the beehive,
About the bush, Willy,
I'll meet thee alive.

Then to my ten shillings
Add you but a groat,
I'll go to Newcastle,
And buy a new coat.

Five and five shillings
Five and a crown;
Five and five shillings
Will buy a new gown.

Five and five shillings,
Five and a groat;
Five and five shillings
Will buy a new coat.

this is a Northumbrian song, in Bruce & Stokoe (1882), 110,
with its pleasant tune.] 1.4 alive should be belyvTUNE FILE: soon.
