This is our favorite sung version on YourTube (starts about 3:30). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UdtWcfziR60<br /><br />But this one is a very funny version sung by a male performing folk artist: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ODiXaGnuS7E<br /><br />I hope you don't mind me sharing some YT versions. Thanks for your blog!

We actually already know the “Derry Down” tune because we learned it for a Canadian song (actually one used to advertise Nova Scotia to potential settlers in the 1750’s). It goes like this:<br /><br />Let's away to new Scotland, where Plenty sits queen<br />O'er as happy a country as ever was seen<br />She blesses her subjects both little and great<br />With each a good house and a pretty estate.<br />Derry down, down<br />Down, derry down.<br /> <br />There's wood and there's water, there's wild fowl and tame<br />In the forest good ven'son, good fish in the stream<br />Good grass for our cattle, good land for our plough<br />Good wheat to be reaped, and good barley to mow.<br />Derry down, down<br />Down, derry down.<br /> <br />No landlords are there the poor tenants to tease<br />No lawyers to bully, nor stewards to seize<br />But each honest fellow's a landlord, and dares<br />To spend on himself the whole fruit of his cares.<br />Derry down, down<br />Down, derry down.<br /> <br />They've no duties on candles, no taxes on malt<br />Nor do they, as we do, pay sauce for their salt<br />But all is as free as in those times of old<br />When poets assure us the age was of gold.<br />Derry down, down<br />Down, derry down.<br /><br />Looking forward to learning these!Education is a Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09630031813554150232noreply@blogger.com
