Subject: RE: Origins: What Will We Do? (Silly Sisters)
Mary Delaney's 'What will we do when we'll have no money', Roud 16879, as above, on Early, Early in the Spring cassette, 1986 , recorded by Jim Carroll & Pat MacKenzie, repeated on MT Puck to Appleby .Ken Hall & I sang this as a duet on our Fellside CD, 2000 under the title "Yodel it over Again", picking up on this jaunty refrain, thinking of a carefree Traveller couple walking down the road singing. Mary Delaney lived for some years under Hammersmith Flyover, London, could well have heard recordings of yodellers such as Jimmie Rodgers. Have met several Travellers who love American country music. Don't find any problem with this phrase, enjoy singing it !
