Mousethief, why not do "Me Husband's Got No Courage In Him"? Doesn't that start with the traditional opening?

As I went out one May morning
To view the fields and leaves a-springing
I saw two maidens standing by
And one of them her hands was wringing

It's obvious that it's a man singing that song.

I am currently working on learning Mabel, and The Greiesley Bride (unaccompanied),and Crazy Man Michael, Christmas In The Trenches, and Shall The Turtle Be Unbroken (accompanied with guitar).

I am also memorizing the poem Trouble Brewing by Charles Morris, and relearning Ships That Pass by C. Fox Smythe.
