Philippa	Lyr Req: This phrase has been... (Fan-a-Winnow) (50)	Lyr Add: FAN-A-WINNOW	16 Jan 99
I had the wrong title for Betty Messenger's book. It's "Picking up the Linen Threads: a study in industrial folklore" published in 1978, Austin, Texas, by U of Texas Press - and in 1980 by Blackstaff Press, Belfast, N Ireland. Lyrics for "Fan-a-Winnow" are included in Carmel O'Boyle. "Cut the Loaf: The Irish Children's Songbook", Cork, Ireland:MercierPress, 1986. Fan-a-winnow, winnow, winnow Fan-a-winnow daisy, Fan-a-winnow, E-i-o, She's away with Barney the band-tier oh, She's away with Barney the band-tier oh. A for apple, P for pear D for dolling on the stair, All the world will never, never know The love I had for my lady oh, My lovely blue-eyed lady oh. B for Barney, C for cross, Oh, how I love Barney Ross, All the world will never, never know The love I have for my Barney oh, My lovely blue-eyed Barney oh. Fan-a-winnow, winnow, winnow Fan-a-winnow daisy, Fan-a-winnow, E-i-o, She's away with Barney the band-tier oh, She's away with Barney the band-tier oh. - I hope to be able to provide the ABC in due course - Philippa
