GUEST,Tim Oxton Mainly Norfolk: Goodbye and Hello (new URL, 2013) (23) RE: Mainly Norfolk: Goodbye and Hello 29 Mar 14


Reinhard, your site is magnificent, but I offer you a correction to one verse of one song: I'd rathere be tending my sheep.

http://mainlynorfolk.info/folk/songs/idratherbethentingmysheep.html

A shepherd I've been all the days that I've seen,
When the fields they're white and the fields they are green.
And I do meet my foe when the cold wind does blow,
When the fox is so cunning, hide down in the snow.

But the fourth line should read:

When the foxes so cunning hide down in the snow.

This wording makes sense, while that on your website doesn't.

Recently I heard this, sung by the Furrow Collective (I think specifically by Lucy Farrell), several times, and I am sure I heard the words correctly.

Sorry to be pedantic, but i want to be helpful. I don't know of you will ever rerad this comment, but i do not see on youre own website how a reader is meant to communicate with you.

best wishes

Tim
