Thread Name: Origins: 'Browned Off' (Ewan MacColl)
Subject: RE: Who Wrote This song? - 'Browned Off'?
I've known this song my whole damn life.

The version I learned, the last line of the refrain was, "There'll be no more trips around the world for me." Scans better.

Also, in verse 4, it's "civvy" shoes, not civic.
