My 92 year old father has just remembered a couple of lines from my grandmothers singing. He says he hasn't heard them for ninety years! His memory is excellent for words but, as he says, he sings like a raven! My brother has also started a thread with Suvla Bay, another one regularly recited by Dad. This one only has "The tink he kicked the farmers wife as she put out the claes" and "The tink he kicked the farmers wife for she widna buy his broom." Any further words, song title or tune would be much appreciated as I have put together a show with my memories of Glen Artney in the 1940s and the songs that were sung then and any more sung by my Grandmother would be like gold dust
