Push Boys Push (This was composed by members of the Dudley Tunnel Trust (in the 1970s, presumably). (Malcolm) found staff notation at Rod Beavon's Canal Songs and Poems; it appears to be a modified form of Ten Green Bottles. Midi made from that notation, slightly modified for neatness and to accommodate the lyric. ) |
