00:01Oh, who is this that sits on my grave and will not let me sleep?
00:17She tells him to enjoy life while he has it, to go away. It's a good lesson.
00:21Where'd you learn it?
00:22My uncle and I learned it on one of our song collecting trips in England.
00:26And why were you there again?
00:27We were asking a lot of questions so early in the morning.
00:29Well, I've told you everything about myself. I don't even know where you grew up.
00:34You don't? Newport.
00:39After my parents died, I lived with my uncle Silas outside of London for a few years.
00:44I was 11, 12 maybe.
00:48You were an orphan?
00:51That's a dramatic way to put it.
00:54I was momentarily unparented.
00:58Silas was surprised by his newfound fatherhood.
01:03He was determined to make me happy.
01:06Duty and all.
01:08English love duty.
01:10He noticed I was spending all day singing the songs his maid taught me.
01:16And she must have said something to him about my asking her for songs.
01:20I was an obsessive boy.
01:22Severely annoying, I'm sure.
01:25And I would go around the village asking people to sing me songs and I'd write them in a book.
01:29Embarrassing.
01:31No.
01:32You don't want to have a following.
01:33No clue.
01:34You don't want to be in a book for music.
01:35It's a very funny story.
01:36Are you here?
01:37No.
01:38No clue.
01:39No clue.
01:40No clue.
01:41No clue.
01:42Only here are you.
01:43No clue.
01:44Okay, I don't want to do this.
01:45You can do it.
01:46You can do it.
01:47No clue.
01:48Okay.
