Subject: RE: Seduction songs
Pre-seduction - Ewan McColl's 'First Time Ever'.
Tree weeks later, having been given the Spanish Fiddle (el Bow) -
'Come kiss me, Love, before you leave me', or 'Bridget O'Malley', or 'Lambs on the Green Hill'.
I found Tom Paxton's 'My Lady's a Wild-flying Dove' handy.
At risk of thread drift, the Morris side with which I danced, when one of the lads was getting wed, used to dance this Set :
The Maid of the Mill ; (Ilmington)
The Blue-Eyed Stranger (or The Gallant Hussar) ; (Bledington)
Haste to the Wedding ; (Longborough)
Getting Upstairs ; (Headington)
The Cuckoo's Nest ; (Bucknell)
Dearest Dicky. (Field Town)
