Thread Name: Lyr Add: Dancing at Whitsun
Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Dancing at Whitsun
There is a version here, which (based on the notes following it) I think may be from the author himself:
http://media.smithsonianfolkways.org/liner_notes/fast_folk/FFSE105.pdf
That version is an image of a newsletter, but there is a typed out version of the same here:
http://www.marcogiunco.com/Testi/002511_05.htm
This version has:
"No young men to tend them, nor pastures to see"
Two other small differences:
"Are covering the downs" instead of "All covering the downs"
"Down from their green farmlands" instead of "Down from the green farmlands"
