Thread Name: Origin: Hill and Gully Rider-is there such a song?
Subject: RE: Hill and Gully Riders - is there such a song?
I don't have a recording but in my old copy of "hi Ho the Rattlin Bog" by John Langstaff these are the words:
Hill and gully rider, hill and gully Hill and gully rider, hill and gully An' a bend down, low down, hill and gully An' yuh better watch yuh tumble down, hill and gully
The source is given as being Jamaican. Hope this helps! Allison
