Thread Name: Lyr Req: Down in the Meadows Where the Bluebells..
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: down in the meadow(bluebells grow)
More text of the elusive 'Where the bluebells grow':

I'm like many more young chaps I love a pretty girl
With eyes so bright she steps so light her teeth are like the pearl
Her hair it's hung in ringlets and her cheeks are like the rose
I met her in the meadows where the bluebells grow.

Chorus
Go down in the meadows where the bluebells grow
That's where I first met my darling pretty flower
And when the moon was shining together we would go
Down in the meadows where the bluebells grow

Now the first time I met this girl I don't mind telling you
It was on one summer's evening in that merry month of June
Shw was sitting by that little brook that leisurely did flow
Down in the meadows where the bluebells grow

Now I spoke to her and she spoke to me and we talked of love divine
I boldly stepped up to her I asked her to be mine
She hung her head and she smiled a while and then to me did say
You must acquaint my parents and ask them if I may

Her father and her mother they consent............



I'm keen to find out where this song originated and what artists, if any, sang it.
