GUEST,NickN@internetcds.com Lyr Req: 'Whur be yon blackbird too?' Wurzels (59* d) 'Whur be yon blackbird too?' 08 Jun 00


When I was growing up in Somerset during the 40s, I remember a song > which I believe was entitled "Where be yon blackbird too?". I don't know > if this was a genuine folk song or simply a ditty used to exploit the > West Country dialect. I recently heard a snatch of the same song in a > "Poldark" video which was set in 1700s Cornwall which suggests some > validity to the song. > > I would very much appreciate any information or sources that you can > suggest; I would particularly like to learn the rest of the lyric. > > Sincerely yours, > > Nick.
