I was walking down the Strand one day - is it a London song | February 2008 on [email protected] |
A discussion on the
song
Briefly recalled by me and Joyce thought | Yes that sounds like it Searching around Google and most confusing I can find this version While strolling through the park one day, In the merry merry month of May, I was taken by surprise, By a pair of roguish eyes, In a moment my poor heart was stole away. And rumours about Stephen Foster Perhaps original words got adapted etc etc |
From Veronica I wonder if this one written in 1826 started it
all ?

The words are close but the tune that it seems to fit does not sound like the first song. I think it is probably the Foster song we have confused And of course there is The Strand and a strand
