Thread Name: Origins: Coming Home from the Wake/Nellie Milkmaid
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Coming Home from the Wake
Like many of the Hammond and Gardiner collection this is available on an early LP Folk Songs of Dorset. Now thankfully re-released as a two CD issue Songs of Hampshire and Dorset.
This version, sung by Cheryl Jordan is titled " Nelly the Mikmaid.
Unashamed Plug here but a great source of authentic style recordings.
