Thread Name: ADD: The Jolly Tinker (from Oscar Brand)
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: The Jolly Tinker (Oscar Brand)

Thanks, Joe. But Brand's song is based on a different version, the one in Ed Cray's book about a tinker who "came from France."

It has a farmer's daughter in it instead of a lady, and a "tiddlywhacker" refrain.
