I am fascinated with the story about Sweet fanny Adams who was murdered in 1867. I used to look after an old lady who used to sing a song about her. Can anybody remember it? It goes something like this:-
Sweet Fanny Adams so blithe and gay ???????????she carved her name one day ???????? and all that was left of the old apple tree was sweet FA
I would be most grateful to anyone who can help me with this!!
The chorus is
Sweet Fanny Adams, blithe & gay
On the old apple tree in the orchard
We carved our names in May
But woodpeckers came in September
And the woodpeckers would peck away
Now all you can see on the old apple tree
Is sweet F A
