Thanks, Paul. Maybe the City Museum has reissued the cassette - or could be persuaded to.

Could you post your father's version, or what you recall of it? (Am interested regardless, but I'll assume the era was WWII.)

Any other 'Catters who know a trad version, please post away!

The modern song usually goes to the "Villikins" tune, but there's one that's rather like "The Bard of Armagh" ("Streets of Laredo"), IIRC.
