Subject: Origins: Is 'Harry Moony' a real tune
Hi all, In the book "Hungry Moon" by Ramsey Campbell begins his first chapter with several quotes. Amoungst them is;
"Go down Harry Moony, harry us no more, We've flowers to please you, to leave at your door." Old Derbyshire Street Song.
I've checked the DT but can not find any ref to this song.
Does anyone out there have any info? Dates, full lyrics, etc?
