Tradsinger Can you identify this song? -maid floats down tide (14) Can you identify this song? 10 Sep 14


Cecil Sharp collected a fragment of a song from William Bayliss of Buckland, Gloucestershire, which he identified, wrongly in my opinion, as "Binorie" (or "The Two Sisters"), but it seems to me that it is a part of a different song. The words are

"One day as Johnny was walking down by the river side,
He saw his maid come floating, come floating down the tide"

So what song is that from? Grateful for any responses.

Tradsinger
