Dannamore- Mrs. Goodyear (Hamp) 1907 Gardiner MS

[My title. Single stanza with music from George Gardiner Manuscript Collection (GG/1/13/799). This is the Dreary moor (Rashie muir) stanza

R. Matteson 2017]


Dannamore- sung by Mrs. Goodyear of Axford,  Hampshire in July 1907. Collector: G.B.  Gardiner.

As I crossed over Dannamore[1],
There I lost sight of my true love's door;
My heart did ache, and I nearly went blind,
Thinking of that bonny girl I left behind.

1. probably "dreary moor."
