Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Drop of Nelson's Blood
I'm familiar with two versions of "Roll the Old Chariot Along," the two versions in the Digital Tradition. DT version 1 has the "...wouldn't do us any harm" verses. DT Version 2 has the "We'd be all right if..." verses.

A couple or more years ago, I heard a woman sing a different version at the Getaway, or maybe it was at the Royal Mile Pub after the Getaway. The verses told a funny story, and that's all I can recall of it. I don't think it was the I couldn't eat my breakfast version, but maybe it was. I haven't been able to find the lyrics I heard, and now it has faded so that I don't remember any of it. Does anybody know of a version that tells a story and isn't just a laundry list of single phrases?
