GUEST,Tony from Bootle.	Lyr ADD: My Old Man's a Dustman! (59* d)	RE: Lyr Req: My Old Man's a Dustman!	17 Dec 03
Can anybody help me, I was looking into Lonnie Donegan's background after his death and found something in which I am very much interested. It appears that his song 'My old man's a dustman', number 1 in 1960, was taken from a Liverpool folk ditty called 'My old man's a fireman on the Elder Dempster line'. I was brought up in Bootle village and my first half a dozen trips at sea were with E. Ds and I was wondering if you could help me to trace the words of this folk song. Thank you, Tony.
