[Ansteorra] Virgio

[Jane Sitton]

The Digital Tradition is where I usually go when I can't find a song:

You can sometimes type in just one word from the song and find what you
seek.

The song you mentioned, "Virgio" as it is know, also "Bonnie Bonnie Banks of
the Virgio" or "Cruel Brother", is listed in the Elfsea Newcomers' Songbook,
for which there is a tape floating around somewhere.

There is also an additional ending some sing that has the remaining sister
gloating that she really doesn't have a brother, but I've been unable to
find that today.  I will post it later if I come up with all the words.

Another good source for songs is Lord Padraig O'Maolagain's Yahoo!
briefcase:

I hope this has been of some assistance.

Ok I have a song driveing me nuts.. I was told it was a SCA song.. here is
how I was told it was tittled. On the banks of the bonnie bonnie Virgio, or
also known as the Robber baron and the 3 sisters.   Can someone tell me
where to find a version sung and on paper(computer screen).   Thanky
