Thanks everybody-- I've been looking for this -- the Taylor version -- for years but was never smart enough to look for it as "The Gipsy's Wedding Day".

My grandmother (who was born in 1885) used to sing it almost exactly this way; she sang "He saw my pretty brown cheeks, he loved them so well," for instance... but she never sang that verse from the Bodleian.

l, of course, never wrote it down when she was around to give it to me & could only remember part of it.. All I could find was the Carter Family version which doesn't quite make it. Her tune wasn't "raucous, choppy, carefree and naughty" though -- I'd like to hear that one.

thanks again
Clint
