Description
A bawdy pub song by Purcell. I have provided 3 versions here (in F for low voices (bass clef), in A for medium voices (tenor/treble clef)
and in C for high voices (tenor/treble clef)).
The sound sample is sung in my own multitracked version (in F).
Sir Walter, enjoying his Damsel one night,
He tickl'd and pleas'd her to so great a height,
that she Sir could not contain t'wards the end of the matter
but in Rap-ture cry'd out "O sweet Sir Walter .... O switter swatter ...."
