Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Dorset Is Beautiful (Bob Gale)
The tune is similar/identical to Cushy Butterfield (but not the chorus), Pretty Polly Perkins of Padding Green (19th century Music Hall), and The Nightingale (not The Sweet Nightingale). Such is the evolution of folk music, with many coming from the Music Hall and vice versa.
