Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Maddy Prior's Haul Her Away
I remember hearing this when down in deepest Cornwall in the late 60s
there was a verse:
Little Ruby Riddle
She broke her fiddle
Clean cross the middle
the responses were as given by Roberto, above
As it was for school children I supose any rude verses were either cleaned up or not sung. (I was on a Biolgy field trip, the effects of the Tory Canyon oil had played havoc with the local plant and animal life)
