Thread Name: Lyr Req: Hedger and Ditcher (from Silly Sisters)
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Nobody comin' to marry me
Hmmm, I'll have to dig out my Silly Sisters tape. As I recall it is

Me father's a hedger and ditcher Me mother does nothin' but spin They say that I'm pretty enough But the money comes slowly in

Oh dear what can the matter be Oh dear, what shall I do There's nobody comin' to marry me Nobody comin' to woo

There's another verse about hunters. I tried the Maddy Prior site. Lots of good lyrics there, but this one wasn't up there.

Someone will come up with it.
