Thread Name: What songs are native to Derbyshire?
Subject: RE: What songs are native to Derbyshire?
I was mistaken - Gerald Short is still alive and kicking! Hello Gerald if you read this. I still remember you, even if I was quite small when you moved.

More songs Frank Sutton wrote:
- Jimmy Queer
- Charlie Short (the astronaut)
- Sam of the Tinsley Tirol
- Don't Tax me grog
- Don't weep in your ale

He also collected a Derbyshire song in Tideswell in 1965 called "The Drunken Butcher"

I'm still looking, so there will be more!
