On a Hillside Stands a Lady- recording as schoolgirls from Huish Episcopi, Somerset, continue to demonstrate and perform playground games and songs for Iona Opie. The tape was recorded in August, 1978.
On a hillside stands a lady
Who she is I do not know.
All she wants is gold and silver,
All she wants is a nice young man.
