Thread Name: Origins: who wrote the Woad Song?
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: who wrote the Woad Song?
The third verse, quoted by Reiver 2 on 13 Jun 10, is one I learnt as part of the whole song in the Scouts in Australia in the 50s/60s. (Dave, writing on 11 Sep 13, notes that the third verse is in fact an Aussie addition to Ho-Jo's original two-verse version.)
As someone else said earlier, this was always a favourite song around the camp-fire, being shouted out and stomped to with great glee...
