Tim: I believe it was Henneberry's version that Creighton published with the "diddling" of the tune as a chorus. It's in Bronson, which I don't have up here. When the recorded version came out of the early Folkways LP, the fiddle had replaced the mouth music.

John: Accolades anyway. We all got sidetracked, didn't we? It was the missing words that initiated the thread!

Bruce: I looked in Motherwell for the version quoted by Bronson. How confusing! The one verse and tune Bronson printed are in the appendix. What is probably a different version is buried in the long and self-righteous (but delightfully bombastic) introduction. I'd never have found it without Bronson as a guide! Makes the kind of searching you do all the more valuable. I can't help but admire your patience.
