Ta. > Is it > just an odd coincidence that the third word of the song is "fourteen"? `...th' The scansion requires two syllables at that point - fourteenth, fifteeth, thirteenth, any of those would do just as well with pretty much the same sound as well as not mucking up the rhythm. So I suspect that it's `fourteenth' for the time signature and no co-incidence at all. > Such time signatures are common in Indian music. I think that's > uniquely complex for an English folk song though. <snort> Uniquely complex? Nah - /unusually/ complex, yeah, but there's more than the one like it, I'll bet. There's nothing in folk music that's unique - can't be, kind of by definition. Just 'cos we don't know about it doesn't mean it's not existed (almost all folk music has been lost, again kind of by definition).

No nonsense at all! Hmm - and the version I've got my the Ian Campbell Folk Group (and another by Swarb and Martin UsualSuspect) /seems/ to my ears to be using different verses. Same chorus.
