18 Dec 11 - 08:27 AM (#3275932) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Tossing and Flailing the hay From: Mick Pearce (MCP) Eddie Butcher recorded a song called Tossing The Hay, could that be the one you're after? It starts: It being on a pleasant evening abroad as I did go To saunter out for pleasure down by a shady grove, Down by a piece of meadow as I carelesslie did stray There I spied a made quite busy, she was tossing out her hay. It doesn't mention flailing, but it does have to toss and dry the hay in three of the verses. If it is the song you want, let me know and I'll post the rest. Mick |

I've got the text and notes, but I need to get the tune from the record. I've got information on some other versions too, so it's probably better to start a new thread. I'll post a link here when I do it (probably tomorrow - Monday), when I've time to transcribe the tune. Mick |
