Chaps - ignore my last. I have just spotted the enlarge icon on the Bodleian page and can now read the broadside. Cool! Many thanks and a Happy New Year.

Incidentally, Steve Roud's index notes the song as only having been collected 25 times, and 8 of those entries are from my collecting! Is this a case of a song being ignored by folksong collectors as being too common to note or even not worthy of being noted? Cecil Sharp never made a note of it, but I guess it was around in his day. I have in manscript a version called "The Little Pigs" with the note "Sung by Sgt Wilcox, no 66 coy, R.G.A.. in Jamaica between 1909 and 1912" which is well before the Albert Richardson recording, so it was in oral tradition pre-1928. The chorus of this version has the line "Here comes the cannibal man" - spooky!
