Or what about this one....... A group of young soldiers one night in a camp, where talking of sweathearts they had, they all looked so happy, except for one lad, and he looked downhearted & sad.

what a great site! I wish I knew the names of the songs that my grandma used to sing. Maybe I should try to write down all the words I can remember. Anyone know this one..... I once met two lovers in a garden, a little girl & boy with golden hair, at first I thought of asking them their pardon, on second thought I'd watch the youthful pair. ?????????????

Thanks Susan - very interesting site. Surprising how many I knew - comes from learning the piano in my childhood using a very old song book.

I've just stumbled across an extensive site which has all sorts of folk songs - music & lyrics, and associated historical links etc. The link below will take you to one about 'Gallant Poachers' who were transported, but you can use the main part of the URL to get to the index. Let me know what you think! http://www(.)contemplator(.)com/england/vland.html Sue (in NZ)
