Nawthen Sept You

Lyric: R.J. Noall of St. Ives, tune Ralph Dunstan.
Cornish Dialect and Folk Songs p12


Noall’s original first line has two words for ‘have not’: habn’t and abbn. Our version uses abm as heard from many Dialect speakers in West Cornwall, perhaps under the influence of Cornish language place-names in Late Cornish form such as Lo Cabm at Mullion.
