Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Songs sung in rounds.
I have a slightly different version of 'Hey Ho', taken from "Rounds and Catches of the Elizabethan and Stuart Age". The source is cited as Ravenscroft, Pammelia #85.

Hey Ho No-bo-dy at home meat nor drink nor money have I none fill the pot Ea-die

Another interesting round from Ravenscroft was in Deuteromelia #13.

Three blind mice Three blind mice Dame Ju-li-an, Dame Ju-li-an the mil-ler and his mer-ry old wife she scraped her tripe, lick thou the knife

Hope this helps,
