GUEST,bobcat Lyr Req: Long Preston Peggy (and tune) (12) RE: Lyr Req: Long Preston Peggy (and tune) 21 Nov 06

Thanks folks. Great. I have a copy of Harry Speight's The Craven and North West Yorkshire Highlands of 1892 which refers to Peggy and has much the same information as GUEST(no name) He states Abraham Holdroyd added some doggerel verses in the 1890s. The version by Dixon is much better and perhaps nearer to the original. Perhaps someone out there has heard (oral tradition) other verses or fragments.Keep being challenged mudcatters. Thanks. I am hoping to find enough to put it together to revive the singing of it !!
