Thread Name: Lyr Req Rumsay Ho? / Rumsty Ho
Subject: RE: Lyr Req 'Rumsay Ho'?? or soundalike
Jim, I meant to answer your point (can it really be six years ago? How time flies!). Yes, the song's title (and thus the refrain) varies in its spelling a good deal.
I meant to say the narrative text lines seldom vary much. That part of the song seems remarkably consistent from version to version.
Best wishes, Bob
