KathWestra led a workshop at NOMAD called "The Infamous Broken Token", where we all did versions of the song format; some serious, but mostly parodies. The songs sung were:

KathWestra: The Piano Leg - by Biggs Tinker and John "Broken-token" Riley - by Sara Newcomb and ?

Judy Cook: The Dark-eyed Sailor - trad., Vermont

Caroline Paton: The Plains of Waterloo(?) and Hind Horn - trad, Newfoundland

Mike Agranoff: an enormously complex ballad involving multiple lovers and broken tokens (including a NY subway token) and transvestites, written by Mike Agranoff

George Stephens: That's the Ticket - Art Thieme

Mary LaMarca: Hind Horn - trad., England and Roger and Nancy - Les Barker

We didn't even get to Claudy Banks, Angus Hempstead or an actual version of John Riley...A silly and good time was had by all!
