Thread Name: Origins: London's Burning / Scotland's Burning
Subject: RE: Origins: London's Burning
A chanty verse on the theme:


"London town is a-burning,
Oh, run with the bullgine, run.
Way, yay, way, yay, yar,
Oh, run with the bullgine, run."
(Clark 1912)

Also seen with New York instead of London.
