Sweet Fanny Adams + Music

I haven't set this to music yet, but it's traditional folk all the way. Everyone has to write one of these 7min songs at some point right?

Sweet Fanny Adams

[v1] Lush grow the crops in the hopfields of Alton

Three comely girls in the meadows at play 

Minnie and Lizzie and sweet Fanny Adams

Plucking wildflowers on a fine summer's day

[v2] A frockcoat and top-hat comes striding up boldly

Frederick Baker, the solicitor's clerk

Good morning girls I greet you warmly

Do you recognize me from Sunday church?

[v3] Will you walk with me to nearby Shalden

The path is quite smooth and the sun shining bright

Dismal to trek all alone on one's ownsome

I'll set you home well before tea tonight

[v4] Nay sir, no sir, thank you gladly

I promised my mother in the meadow to stay

I must remain with my friend and my sister

I will not walk with you on this day

[v5] Here's three shiny ha'pennies to spend up in Alton

Buy sweet things and ribbons to brighten your day

Whilst I walk with Fanny to nearby Shalden

We'll meet up again when we come back this way

[v6] Nay sir, no sir I thank you once more

I will not walk with you on this day

But strong hands seized her, picked her up roughly

And into the hop fields carried her away

[v7] The search spread out from the thatched roofs of Alton

When the girls brought word of what had transpired

As darkness fell down on the nearby hop fields

To cover in mercy the fate of the child

[v8] Inspector Will Cheyney came from Winchester

Arrested Fred Baker, and set him to trial

Gathered the evidence, found in the hop field

A tiny bundle marked "portions of a child"

[v9] Frederick Baker hung in Winchester

Long was the fall and tight was the knot

They found in his diary written that fearful day

Killed a young girl. It was fine and hot
