Subject: RE: Origins: Jesus Met Woman at the Well/Maid & Palmer
I had this one from an old lady in Yorkshire:

A young lass to the river brink,
Hey derry dando,
An old man came to get a drink
Leg-a-derry-dando.

"Old man, old man, tell me plain,
How I can be a maid again."

"Seven years an ape in hell,
Seven a clapper in a bell."

Or maybe I dreamt it.

Whaddami like?
