Murray	Lyr/Tune Req: How Many Miles to Babylon (10)	RE: How many miles to Babylon	12 Feb 98
[I suggest you create another thread for your second request.] As for "Babylon", look it up if you can in The Oxford Dictionary of Nursery Rhymes (by Iona & Peter Opie)--several versions and a bit of discussion.They refer you to Lady Gomme's Traditional Games of England, Scotland, and Ireland (1894), = vol.I p. 231. She, alas, gives no music. The Opies have another book on singing games you can try. Cheers Murray
