Jacob B	Folklore: Padstow's Obby Oss (91* d)	RE: Folklore: Padstow's Obby Oss	07 Apr 05
As an American who has never had the good fortune to visit Padstow, I'd appreciate it if any of the experts in this thread could shed some light on the meaning of the song I know as The Padstow Mayers Song. As I know it, the verse goes: Oh where is Saint George Oh where is he now He's out in his longboat All on the salt sea oh Up flies the kite Down falls the lark, oh Aunt Ursula Birdwood, she had an old yow And it died in its own park, oh Is that correct? What does it mean? Jacob
