Thread Name: Lyr Req: 'Rose, Rose' round: More verses?
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: 'Rose, Rose' round: More verses?
Thanyou everyone! I was looking up this song because I knew a few verses such as...

Rose, Rose, Rose, Rose,
will I ever see thee wed?
I will marry at thy will, Father
At thy will.

(I learner the firstone at camp and the next in choir)

Heigh, ho, nobody home
Meat, nor drink, nor money have I none
yet, I will be merrrrry.

and...

stay home where nobody knows

I was under the impression that the two songs went together somehow and lets face it, this is not a happy song. Just a Tragic girl who loves a man but her farther is forcing her to marry someone else so she runs away with him. I have so many different veiws of it, not just that but ya.

here are three rounds put together that I know of

Hey ho nobody home
No more sleep nor money I have none still I will be very marry,
Hey ho hum

Rose rose rose rose
Will I ever see thee wed
I will merry at thy will, father
At that will

The wind in the willows sign like a solitary sole alone,
The wind, the wind, the wind, the wind

I hope this helps in some way...
