Subject: ADD Version: Adam and Eve From: Joe Offer Date: 23 Mar 11 - 02:36 PM I found the song at Google Books in an 1893 songbook called English County Songs, by Lucy Etheldred Broadwood and John Alexander Fuller-Maitland: ADAM AND EVE Adam and Eve could never believe That Peter the miller was dead; Shut up in the tower for stealing of flour, And never could get a reprieve, And never could get a reprieve.* They bored a hole in Oliver's nose, And put therein a string, And drew him round about the town For murdering Charles our King, For murdering Charles our King. *possibly in the original this line ran "and forced to lose his head." Tune posted on request. |
Subject: RE: DT Corr: Adam and Eve From: JohnB Date: 24 Mar 11 - 12:46 AM Hi Joe, there was a copy of this book in the auction just before Christmas I think. I remember bidding on it but did not get it. Could you view the book from the google link? It didn't seem to want to let me do that!. JohnB |
Subject: RE: DT Corr: Adam and Eve From: Joe Offer Date: 24 Mar 11 - 01:13 AM Hi, John- Hmmm. The link works for me. I wonder if it will work better if I simplify it: click here -Joe- |
Subject: RE: DT Corr: Adam and Eve From: JohnB Date: 24 Mar 11 - 01:09 PM Sorry Joe, I get the same thing with both links. A picture of a generic book front cover and no way to open it. Then "Related Books" Then "Contents" showing the words "Section One" all the way to section 14 also with no way to open. I am wondering if it has to do with a copywrite issue? I would really like to see this book too, also another one which it links also by Lucy B. JohnB. |
Subject: English County Songs From: Joe Offer Date: 24 Mar 11 - 01:15 PM Hmmmm. I'm in the U.S. It may not be available in other countries. What I see on the left-hand side is this: The Google Books logo The title: English county songs,: words and music (Google eBook) A miniature of the title page of the book, which is a clickable link. -Joe- |
