Thread Name: Tune Req: Hi lee hi lo
Subject: RE: Tune Req: Hi lee hi lo
Reluctant to leave this unfinished and with noone coming forward to do the second verse, I decided to pursue it myself! With some messing about with the sound, I was eventually able to make out the last line of the second German verse, enough to let me so a search for the rest of it, and I found this version of Im Wald und auf der Heide which has the cylinder second verse as the second part of the first verse there (if you see what I mean!).
The complete German section is given below.
