The Lincolnshire Poacher - via an outing to the Carribbean - was also the basis for Sonny Rollins's fabulous composition "St. Thomas". His mother used to sing him the tune - in calypso rhythm - when he was young.

Try humming the Lincolnshire Poacher with a bit of West Indian swing and - lo and behold - St. Thomas!
