Tom, this seems to be the stanza you recall:

"Begone From The Window / Gwra Mos Dyworth An Fenester



Begone From The Window / Gwra Mos Dyworth An Fenester Words English, Cornish, French REFERENCES

Old Cornwall Society Magazine April 1927 p 14 - 15

From singing of Jas Thomas NOTES

" This curious old Chorus is evidently the original of the darkey (*Darky)chorus:-

Go away from the window my lover my dove

Go away from the window! Don't you hear?

Come again some other night

For theres going to be a fight

And the razors will be flying in the air

This however misses the meaning of the song which is kept in an old French one sung in Burgundy:-

Qui frappe,qui frappe

Mon mari est ici"

That is from
