Subject: RE: Repeating the first verse at the end
"Have you got the words for that one?"
I have just hand-written them out - I'll put them up when I've translated them into English!
I'm pretty certain it appeared on the Topic Cinnamond album under the Title, 'The Beggarman'
There's also a text in Jackie Boyce's 'Songs of County Down; Jackie says he got it from the singing of Len Graham, who in turn got it from Packie Russell, as we did - though it lacks the sexual boast verse that Packie gave us.
The broadside suggestion makes sense, but I have been unable to find any reference to it - will try the 'Word From the Street' site again later.
