One of the urban legends concerning John was that as a youngster he had been sent off to bed early by his parents for sing the "Long Pegging Awl"/"Bonny Black Hare" in public. I asked him to clarify the point and was surprised to hear that the song was in fact "With my cattle smock on", and he proceeded to sing the first 3 verses. Having scanned the DT, Google, and a few other sources the only trace of it I encountered was your reference to it in a previous thread regarding "Tarry Trousers". Could you send the full text of the lyrics, or better still post them on the DT perhaps? Thanx, in anticipation. Bob vG |
