Re "Little Black Bull." I note the comment "It's a great song, very pretty (despite the words)." Which is even more true in the much cruder version I got from Cyril Tawney. He said it was very common in the south of England. The refrain was the (also common in the US) one, "Houston, Sam Houston." The great surprise to me was hearing this iconish name pronounced in the British fashion - "hooston."

(The chantey version is in Abrahams.)
