CATCH-ME-IF-YOU-CAN
1. 'Twas early, early all in the Spring
2. As I walked forth down by a riverside
3. I said, "Fair maid, will you go along with me?
4. So this fair maid gave her consent
5. "So now you've had your will of me
6. "My name is Catch-Me-If-You-Can
7. When six long months were over and passed
8. When nine long months were over and gone
9. So she sent out a horse and man
10. They catched the rogue and bound him fast
Notes: Tune: Hammond D.832. Mrs. Russell, , Dorset. Jan/Feb. 1907, with bar five embellished as per William Farnham below. Text: Hammond D.564. William Farnham, South Perrot, Dorset. June 1906, opening amended as per broadside. (Purslow) |
