Folknacious Origins: White Cliffs of Dover (29) RE: Origins: White Cliffs of Dover 03 Feb 10


Did Nat Burton ever give permission for his lyrics to enter the public domain?

Just a slow meander on the floral path from Anon to Trad. Arr. ;-)

Devon Sproule & Paul Curreri did a wonderful version of this song to close the Roots At The Roundhouse gig last week, accompanied by members of Oysterband and others including Billy Bragg at the piano! Bearing in mind Vera Lynn recently standing up to the BNP about their attempted hijacking of it, and the line "tomorrow, when the world is free", the song probably has greater significance these days than for quite a while.
