Thread Name: Lyr Req/Add: Maid in the Calico Dress^^^
Subject: RE: lry reqd:- Maid in the Calico Dress
I have, or had, a song somewhere with the verse that Mary gave above: 'Give me a maid who is neatly arrayed' etc. However, I can't remember who sang it. The recording would have been from the 60s or 70s. I think it was an English singer that I had - the verse definitely had 'Burnley' rather than 'Dublin', but I am not sure whether 'Maidens of Burnley' was the title; that title doesn't ring a bell like the verse does. I will keep looking.
