Bowling Green - The Wayfarers - East Devon - 1967

[@ChrisJBrady2]

The Wayfarers were a folk group from East Devon in the 1960s. They appeared on the London Folk Song Cellar no. 32 in 1967. Here they sing the best ever version of Bowling Green. But we need the words, and one verse in this recording was left out due to a cassette turnover event. Does anyone remember the group, and does anyone have the words to this version of the song please? "Bowling Green" by the Wayfarers East Devon 1/ Wish I was in Bowling Green sittin' on a chair With one arm round the whiskey jug And the other round my dear The other round my dear... Bowling Green Oh.... dear old Bowling Green 2/ Wish I was a bumble bee flying through the air ???????? Touch her if you dare Touch her if you dare... Bowling Green Oh.... dear old Bowling Green 3/ If you see that ???? of mine Tell her its from me That if she loves another man I will set her free I will set her free... Bowling Green Oh.... dear old Bowling Green (This partial verse deleted) 4/ If you love me ???? put your hand in mine ?????? ?????? ?????? ?????? 5/ Wish I was in Bowling Green sittin' on a chair With one arm round the whiskey jug and the other round my dear The other round my dear... Bowling Green Oh.... dear old Bowling Green Dear old Bowling Green.
