Sandy Paton	Lyr Req: Ballad: Roses Bloom Sweetly (10)	RE: Lyr Req: Ballad: Roses Bloom Sweetly	26 Sep 02
One version in Cecil Sharp's Appalachian collection (English Folk Songs from the Southern Appalachians) contains the following two verses (if memory serves): What will you leave to your old mother dear? I - O, the lily gay. This bloody clothing that I wear. And the rose smells so sweet, I know. Tell her to wash it in yonder stream, I - O, the lily gay. For my heart's blood sticks in every seam. And the rose smells so sweet, I know. Andrew Rowan Summers recorded this version on an early Folkways album. The "hech aye" version quoted in Contemplator from Kinloch is on Archie Fisher's Folk-Legacy CD-61 (The Man with a Rhyme). Sandy
