GUEST,C Dye Scots Dialect Q's (34) RE: Scots Dialect Q's 17 Aug 00


I know this is an old thread, but I was looking up a song I knew as a kid, and you haven't got the version I know. Or the tune. But I learned March42 like this:

Warsaw the forty second
Warsaw gone to war
Warsaw the forty second
Marching through the brambles raw

Zoomde men got boots and stockings
Zoomde men got nain at a'
Zoomde men got boots and stockings
Marching through the brambles raw

My girl scout troop sang it as an eight part round, holding the "raw"s for eight counts to make the bagpipe drone under the melody.

(And my sister learned it "zoomdelady boots and stockings" just a couple of years before I did. Colorado, approx. 1968)
