Austin P	Origins: My Bonnie Lies over the Ocean (81* d)	RE: Origins: My Bonnie Lies Over The Ocean	19 Feb 09
Malcolm - I found the words some time ago but didn't have the tune, someone told me to try 'Dick Darby' (probably a half remembered reference to a cobbler in the tune title, and at the same time we had a converstaion about 'my bonnie' and the similarity to Dick darby. I'll look up hewson ... Seeing this thread prompted the memory. Vocal Miscellany is not available in reprint, be nice if it was ... AP Apropos of verse-metre forms crossing over tunes I remember in my callow youth singing 'My old man's a Dustman' to the tune of "The White Cockade". Always good for a laugh.
