Jay777 Origins: O the Shearing's Not For You (27) RE: Origins: O the Shearing's Not For You 17 Jul 08


No probs, Barry- I'd actually typed them before I saw your post! Dad used to sing me to sleep with it (and songs like Tom Dooley and Hang on the Bell, Nellie- but I never had nightmares!). Not exactly a lullaby, but I've always loved the tune too.

I have about 300 song lyrics (no music, and not all folk by any means) that dad typed out, probably around 1950. I know many of the songs, but there are a lot I don't (and I was brought up with music from the cradle). Might anyone be interested in them? Maybe someone who entertains old folk? I'm in Cornwall, England.
