Thread Name: Didn't know the Vicar of Bray
Subject: RE: Didn't know the Vicar of Bray
Yeah. Recorded a long time ago by Richard Dyer-Bennet, and I believe it's printed in "The New Song Fest" compiled by Dick and Beth Best. I've seen it other places, too, and it's undoubtedly been recorded by many others.

I didn't know that Bray was an actual location. I always thought that "The Vicar of Bray" suggested that the vicar tended to bray like an ass.
