Derivations Segment:
These two songs share a melody, though their lyrics are completely different. 'Matty Groves'is an English murder(double homocide, sometimes suicide crime of passion!) ballad which dates back to at least the 17th century and was collected by Francis James Child. Alternate Name include 'Little Musgrave' and 'Little Musgrave & Lady Barnard', and the Lord/murderer in the ballad is called various names-- Donald, Arlen, Daniel, Arnold, or Barnard. 'Shady Grove' is an 18th century American folk song which took the melody and 'Grove' name from 'Matty Groves'.

1 comment:
"Oh, Yoko" is about, could be, perhaps, the happiest song ever.
The funniest song ever about 'the breakin' of wind' must be moi's parody "The Lion Farts Tonight."
Stay on groovin' safari,
