Thanks to everyone for some neat suggestions (Susan, as Nonie so funnily pointed out, putting slashes between songs titles would help...). I'm afraid waulking songs are out; I don't speak Gaelic, and I'm always afraid of mispronouncing something in a foreign language and singing something unmentionable in polite company. The cowgirl songs are good!

Thank you, Bruce, for the Ur-version of Housewife's lament - some things never change. Barry, is Ten & Nine the same as Jute Mill? ("Oh dear me, the mill's goin' fast, and the puur wee shifters cannae get nae rest...") I'll look for the Bellamy song on The Transports, and say hi to Suzanne in a few weeks(we mailed our NEFFA application out yesterday).

Moira, I really like the Fisherwife's Lament; I think it's another one from Ewan MacColl's Singin' the Fishin'.

Keep those suggestions coming!
