Lovely discussion,

I remeber the song here in UK and it is from days when I helped with the girls guides - Yes and me a man - so I claim - Did the Scouts too but they never sung it !

Hey ho nobody Home Meat and drink and Money have I none Yet I will go merrily along

Hi ho Hi Ho

Then off again - goregeous round - We were led to believe it was canadian and that was all !

Very romantic sound and tune usually in the lower contralto registers.

I think this discussion comes close to the other thread on making folk music more interesting and the verbal tradition and changes which it engenders.

Nice one - I'd like to read more if there is any.
