The book of words that John and Margaret handed over to people who bought Pithead included the stockade verse as an asterisked verse (ie omitted during recording as the songs would otherwise have proved too long.) Danny Spooner has of course modified it slightly in his version - the original said "path" not "course" and there was only one "long" in the last line.

Having already cut one verse, John and Margaret did not repeat the first verse. I think that was a Cockersdale innovation.

John and Margaret are planning to tour Britain next summer and are looking for gigs.....
