Thread Name: Origins: When Jones's Ale was New
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: When Jones's Ale was New
there's an error in one of the 'peculier ale' verses i posted at the end of aug 02.

here it is corrected:

And the next to come in was the knacker,
And no man could be slacker,
And no man could be slacker.
*There was nothing he wouldn't not do.
He flung his old hat upon the shelf.
He said, "You must keep all your beasts in good health,
For I've no intention of knack'ring myself,"
When Peculiar Ale was new, me boys,
When Peculiar Ale was new.


the line i've asterisked should say 'there was nothing he wouldn't NOT do'

cheers,

mr h
