Thread Name: Tune Req: Dumbledown Daisy
Subject: RE: Tune Req: Dumbledown Daisy
I'm afraid I know just the title - not much use I know. And I must confess I misread the title - it is "Dumpledown Daisy".

There is a passing mention in an article on bawdy monologues (Gershon Legman in 'Western Folklore' Vol. 40 1976), as the tune to a medical students song called "Professor John Glaister".

Now I'm curious, because I feel I've heard of this "Dumpledown Daisy" song, but where eludes me. 'Dumpledown' sounds English...
