Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Maid from Amsterdam / Amsterdam Maid
GUEST,
If you look back up the thread you'll see that the only connection between Heywood and 'A-Roving' is the use of a very common motif that can be found in numerous songs and forms. There is no direct connection at all and nothing really to suggest that they are related. Check Lighter's post.
