My wife wants to sing a traditional English tune called alternately "To Julia" or "Cherryripe" at our song night Saturday, but she can't remember all the words.

Wondering if any of our UK friends would help on this one.

The first line is:

Cherryripe, cherryripe, cherryripe I cry.

Thanks for any help.

Robert Herrick's poetry is easy to come by in editions of his works or 17th century anthologies. Try your local used book store or library.

Bruce — thanks. I'll go to the library tomorrow is no one posts the lyrics for me here.

I've got them at home, but I'm not home.

Bruce — thanks.

Actually, I went to another site and found them, so I thought I'd post them here in case any M'catters are looking in the future. I'll put them in a separate post so they can be harvested.

Thanks to you, too, sopho — I got distracted mid-post and didn't see that you'd provided that link.

ditto above on posting. I'll do that now.

CHERRY RIPE
Words, Robert Herrick; music, Charles Edward Horn, ca. 1825.

CHO: Cherry ripe, cherry ripe, ripe I cry
Full and fair ones. Come and buy
Cherry ripe, cherry ripe, ripe I cry
Full and fair ones. Come and buy.

If so be you ask me where
They do grow, I answer there
Where my Julia's lips do smile
There's the land, or Cherry Isle
There's the land or Cherry Isle. CHO.

Where my Julia's lips do smile
There's the land or Cherry Isle
There plantations fully show
All the year where cherries grow
All the year where cherries grow. CHO.
