Who is There? Mrs. Russell (Dors) 1907 Hammond
[From: Henry Hammond Manuscript Collection (HAM/5/32/2)

Who is There? sung by Mrs. Marina Russell of Upway, Dorset in Jan./Feb. 1907. Collected by H. E. Hammond.
Oh! Who is there all under my window,
Your voice so loud I hear you there?
You may go court and love some other,
And whisper softly in her ear.
Begone, begone, you will wake my mother,
my father he will quick-a-ly hear,
You may go court and love some other,
And whisper softly in her ear.
Oh! why may I go and court another,
To rob my jewel of her charms,
For now she's grown up from her mother[1],
I'm sure she's fitter for her true love's arms.
