[Steppes] lost lyrics

[suzanna herbalist]

and I always thought it was "rose, Rose, Rose, Rose, will I ever see thee wed?"  which fits better with the next 2 lines

>I had forgotten that there were the other verses...I don't think I've heard them in years. All the verses are when you are singing it as a regular song. In the SCA, at least, just the two verses are used when singing as a round song, one group singing the first verse, the second starting the second verse when the first group starts the third line of their verse:
>
>Hey, ho, nobody's home 
>Meat nor drink nor money have I none 
>Still I will be very merry 
>Hey, ho, nobody's home. 
> 
>Rose, Rose, Rose, Rose 
>Will I ever see thee red? 
>I will marry at thy will, sire, 
>At thy will. 
>
>Not a bard, but I've been hearing/singing this for most of the 30 years I've been in the SCA!
