Thread Name: Lyr Req/Add: Harry the Hawker (Martin Graebe)
Subject: Tune Add: HARRY THE HAWKER (Martin Graebe)
This is taken from Martin Graebe's songbook, "Jack in the Green and Other Heroes". What I'm showing here is only the second verse of the cumulative song; you'll need to add more two-measure phrases of the same pattern, just after the second "is dead", as you get to later verses. I've tried to align the words under the corresponding notes. When I submit this to the concertina.net ABC notation displayer, it comes out OK.
