Subject: RE: Rocky Road to Dublin question
Listening to the London Folk Song Cellar on BFN back in the day, I heard Shirley Collins sang "Rigs o'the times", (Roud 876, mostly Norfolk, evidently dating to the Napoleonic Wars) where "rigs" are "swindles". Plenty others have sung that one too including Maddy Prior, and Martin Carthy.
