Mary, we don't want you buried under a pile of tapes and CDs, but if nobody closer does I'll send you my recording by Finbar and Eddie Furey. Are Minidiscs any good to you? Otherwise it'll have to be a tape.

thta would be great...a tape would be best...I doubt I'[ll get deluged...or if you can burn cd's that would be even better than best...then I can play it over and over...I am just hoping it is the tune that is going through my head.

I am also going to buy the Sangsters C.D...I emailed Dick to see if Mudcat can sell it...I heard them sing another song today..what great voices these 2 women have..

'Cock' was also a C16 slang term for God. So the - obviously old - expression, Cock O'the North, could have a more powerful meaning than just being the 'toughest rooster in the yard'.

The few words I know for Cock of the North are:-
I went up in a penny balloon,
the penny balloon went pop,
I fell into the big blue sea,
and a fish got hold of me cock!

cock-a-doodle,cock-a-doodle, and a fish got hold of me cock.

...is that all there is?

The other 3-4 song titles don't scan.
