Stephen R.	Origins: Some Rival Has Stolen My True Love Away (43)	version of 'Some tyrant has stolen'?	25 Dec 03
Well, I have lost my notes. Can someone please identify the version of Roud 587, 'Some tyrant has stolen my true love away' (aka 'Some rival . . . ,' 'The merry king . . . ,' 'The Americans . . . '. etc.)? The bugle shall speak & the serpent shall sing; There'll be instruments of music for to make the valleys ring. Oh, the huntsman he'll holler & the hounds make their noise For to fill my love's heart with ten thousand joys. This is easy to find on the internet as a lyric on a CD, but of course there is no information about the source of the version, which is what I need. Thanks, Stephen R. I moved this message from another thread. -Joe Offer-
