Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Fair Maid of Wallington (June Tabor, #91) From: GUEST,# Date: 04 Mar 21 - 01:23 PM From "Fair Mary of Wallington" at http://levigilant.com/Bulfinch_Mythology/bulfinch.englishatheist.org/arthur/ballads/Popular-Ballads.htm "In the Scottish ballad, a ‘scope’ is put in Mary’s mouth when the operation takes place. In the Breton ballad it is a silver spoon or a silver ball. ‘Scope,’ or ‘scobs’ as it appears in Herd, means a gag, and was apparently used to prevent her from crying out. But the silver spoon and ball in the Breton ballad would appear to have been used for Marguerite to bite on in her anguish, just as sailors chewed bullets while being flogged." |

Subject: Lyr Add: FAIR MARY OF WALLINGTON (Child #91) From: Roberto Date: 25 Aug 05 - 12:00 PM FAIR MARY OF WALLINGTON (F.J. Child #91). I'd like to get the ytext as sung by June Tabor. The Fair Maid of Wallington June Tabor, Always, disc B, Topic TSCD559, 2005; ballad recorded in 1974. Please, help me correct and complete the trascription. Thanks. R When we were silly sisters seven sisters were so mild (or wild?) Five went to bride bed and five are dead with child Then it's up spoke young Mary and ...(?) she would bide For if ever she was in man's bed, the same death she would die O it's take no vows, Mary, for fear they broken be For there is a Knight in Wallington asking good will of thee Of if there is a knight, mother, asking good will of me Then it's in three quarters of a year you may bury me Well, she had not been in Wallington three quarters and a day Till she was as big with baby as any lady Oh is there not a boy in this town that would win up hose and shoe Then it's up spoke a page-boy: Your errand I will run Give respects to my mother as she sits in her chair of stone Ask her how she likes the news of seven to have but one When her mother she heard the news in anger cried she And she's kickt the table with her foot and kickt it with her knee Then she's calld for her waiting-maid and also her stable-groom: Come fetch me my cloak and go saddle up the brown But when they came to Wallington and into Wallington hall There were four and twenty ladies that let the tears down fall And her daughter she had a scope into her cheek and into her chin All for to keep her sweet life till her mother she come in Now she's taken a razor that was both sharp and fine And from out of her left side she's took the heir to Wallington Oh, there is a race in Wallington, and that I rue full sore Tho the cradle it be well spread up, the bride-bed is left bare And when we were silly sisters seven sisters were so mild Five went to bride bed and five are dead with child Then it's up spoke young Mary and ...(?) she would bide For if ever she was in man's bed, the same death she would die |
