Thread Name: Lyr Add: Woman's Work Is Never Done
Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Woman's Work Is Never Done
"The song was printed in England on broadsides in the mid 1800s. It was printed as (A) Woman Never Knows When Her Day's Work's Done, A Married Woman's Work is Never Done and is noted as sung to the tune Far, Far Upon The Sea." There are several versions of the Broadside in question in the Bodlian - but they are a different song, and a different scan. A friend is trying to find a tune for the song quoted above (it is NOT Far, Far upon the sea)- anyone any ideas? (Nutting Girl does not work well).
