Thread Name: Lyr Req: While the Gamekeepers Lie Sleeping
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: While the Gamekeepers Lie Sleeping
I am trying to figure out the notes to the Steeleye Span version of the similar song Dogs and Ferrets.   Such a song is listed under Roud 363, but all the melodies I have seen (Gamekeepers lie Sleeping, Hares in the Plantation are different.   

I have worked out the notes for the chorus - which they sing in unison, but the verses have harmonies that are tricky to hear and get the pitch. Can anyone help ?

Here is a link to what I have so far, but I know the verse is wrong......

Again, any help would be appreciated.
