Delkiow Sivy
Delkiow Sivy ("Strawberry Leaves" in Cornish (Kernewek)) is a Cornish folk song. A young maiden is on her way to pick strawberry leaves which, so the song alleges, make young girls pretty. She meets a travelling tailor, who seeks to seduce her. "Who will clothe the child?" asks the young man. "Ah, but his father will be a tailor," the maiden concludes. The repeated refrain "dark face and yellow hair" probably alludes to the traditional view of female beauty.
