Do any of the pre-Hills versions contain stanzas from the 'Died for Love' family? How many pre-Hills versions have we got access to, if any? And where does all this leave the several contemporary assertions that the song derives from a Cornish folksong, i.e., a version of 'Died for Love'. Is it likely that Hills married the 2 songs together to form 'There is a Tavern'? Does the word 'radoo' derive from 'adieu' as we previously thought, or is the 'adieu' a rationalisation of a nonsense word? When I get your opinions on this I will check all of the early versions I have.
