Here Lies a Woman
(John Hilton, 1652)

from the CD Bazimakoo by Dante Ferrara

Lyrics:
Here lies a woman, who can deny it,
She died in peace though lived unquiet.
Her husband prays if o'er her grave you walk,
You would tread soft. You would tread soft
For if she wakes she'll talk, for if she wakes she'll talk.

Sorry to disappoint but there is no 'lost' part, nor is it a ballad. The whole thing is three lines long and is a catch for three voices. DF

Hi, I'm using a bass colascione - an Italian instrument popular between about 1500 and 1750. The bass variety is very rare. This one was made in 1887. DF

I want to hear the part of the song that was lost. It sounds like the opening of a murder ballad.

I'm a history co-ordinator in a Grimsby primary school. I booked Dante for 2 sessions to play his music and tell his tales to 5 Y3/4 classes. The children loved it. Highly recommende4d to bring your Tudor topic alive. Thanks Dante. Nick.
