Gutcher Origins: Gosport Tragedy/ Cruel Ship's Carpenter (183* d) RE: Origins: Gosport Tragedy/ Cruel Ship's Carpenter 12 Apr 16


Hello Richie
Two from Greig Duncan

[1] THE GOSPORT TRAGEDY
    Willie and Nancy of Yarmouth

    For the death o" their daughter and baby so fair
    In Gosport churchyard and they buried her there.


[2] VILL. THE SHIP"S CARPENTER

{1}   In a kitchen in Portsmouth a fair damsel did dwell
       Who for beauty and grammar none could her excel
       She loved a gay feller whose name it was Vill
       And to his trade was a ship"s carpenter
         sing Dottle dottle dottle chip chip chip
             Turaliday

{2} He led her o"re hills and o"re valleys so deep
       Till at last this poor maiden began for to weep
       O Villiam I doubt you"ve a led me this way
       In order my innocent life to betray
         With your Dottle dottle dottle chip chip chip
             Turaliday

Sorry I cannot type the two tunes
