Subject: RE: To hear the birds whistle and sing...lyr
To Guest and Malcolm..
Thanks so much for the help...Guest's rendition is longer than the one I heard (about 40 years ago now) and the chords look right. Thanks also, Malcolm, for all the background...very helpful. And the Bickerstafff stuff looks like it might be the version I heard...as I recall it was sung as a 2-part (2 person) song with man and maid taking turns w/their lines...
Thanks again for the help...I love the melody, such a gay and lilting tune and am glad to once again be able to put all the words to it.
