Thread Name: Lyr Add: Must I Be Bound
Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Must I Be Bound
I didn't find a Peggy Seeger recording available on CD, and I didn't find it in The Peggy Seeger Songbook (the big fat one, Oak Publications, 1998). The only recording I found under that title was by June Tabor, on a compilation called Woman's Voice: First Person Singular and on here own CD, Quiet Eye.
It appears that the "must I be bound" verse appears in many versions of "Waly Waly." Is the tune of the Peggy Seeger recording anything like "Waly Waly"?
I thin the verses of "Waly Waly" are used in a lot of songs, so I don't know that I'd say this is a version of "Waly."
