Subject: Lyr Add: SHALLOW BROWN and SHENANDOAH^^^
Try these two:-

SHALLOW BROWN

Fare thee well, me Juliana
Shallow, o shallow brown
Fare thee well, me Juliana
Shallow, o shallow brown

And it's shallow in the morning
Just as the day was dawning

Well I've put my clothes in order
For our packet leaves tomorrow

Yes, our packet leaves tomorrow
And it fills me heart with sorrow

For I love to gaze upon you
And to spend me money on you

O you are my only treasure
And I love you still full measure

In me cradle lies me baby
I don't want no other lady

O me wife and baby grieve me
It just breaks me heart to leave thee

For I'm bound away to leave thee
And I never will deceive thee

Fare thee well, my Juliana
And I never could be sadder

SHENANDOAH^^^

O Shenandoah, I long to hear you
Away you rolling river
O Shenandoah, I long to hear you
Away we're bound to go
'Cross the wide Missouri

O Shenandoah, I love your daughter
It's seven long years since last I saw her

O Shenandoah, I took a notion
To sail across the stormy ocean

O Shenandoah, I had to leave you
But Shenandoah, I'll not deceive you

O Shenandoah, I'll no more hear you
But Shenandoah, my heart is near you

"I dreamed a dream the other night ... "

Wassail!

Alan
