Subject: Origins: The Whitby Maid
Hi everyone,
I'm looking for more information about the song "The Whitby Maid". It starts There was a maid in Whitby town who was both fair and clever,
she would sit by her father's door no matter what the weather".
Chorus: "Blow away you northern winds / Blow away so cruelly..."
I know a recording of this song by Kathryn Roberts on "two", but there are no sleeve notes about that song. So I would be interested in everything about it. Thanks if there's anyone who can help...
