Thread Name: Lyr Req: Lady Vangeline, Greek folksong
Subject: Lyr Req: Lady Vangeline, Greek folksong
Is anyone familiar with the Greek folksong, Lady Vangeline? I have the lyrics to just one verse, which is not nearly enough for such a lovely tune (in a lilting 7/8 metre). I would love to have more verses. What little I have is as follows:

O who art thou Lady Vangeline?
Thou rulest here like a lovely queen. (2x)
   From the sky thou dost appear
   Bringing blessed water so pure and clear.
O who art thou Lady Vangeline?
Thou rulest here like a lovely queen.

I can post or email a midi file if anyone wants the tune. Feel free to email me at tony@patriarche.net.
