GUEST,HughM English song about marriage warnings (22) RE: English song about marriage warnings 25 Jan 06

In Keith Marsden's song "Willy 'Ole Lad" a father warns his daughter not to marry a man he fears will be a gambler and will be nasty when he comes home drunk. (The "Willy 'Ole" is part of a woollen mill in which the work is very unpleasant.)
I don't know whether the song has ever been recorded, but it can be found in the book "Picking Sooty Blackberries", ISBN 1 871318 01 7, published by Fellsongs Music Publishing.
