Susanne, that I could correct one of your transcriptions would be a rare event.

However, Le Scaramouche is right, it is 'keen in hand' in the two verses, corroborated but the 'Folksinger's Workbook'.

BTW, I hear them singing 'Johnson' each time despite the different title on the record but I guess the difference in pronounciation is quite small. The Folksingers Workbook has it as Johnson BTW.
