about

6. What Will Ye My
Poor Orphans Do?
Trad/ G.Khawaja/ R. Herrick
The tune of this is taken from a
Cathar hymn called
‘Le Bouvier’ or
‘The Cattle Herder’.
I first heard the hymn sung by a
singer called Veronique Chalot.
The lyrics of this are taken from
the poetry of Robert Herrick.
Guitar & Vocals: Gemma Khawaja
