Re Tradsinger's Gloucestershire version, I once heard a politically incorrect version of the final stanza to the tune of "Yankee Doodle":

Be I Berkshire, be I b*ggery
I comes up from Wareham
Where all the girls wear calico drawers
And I knows how to tear 'em

I seem to remember that this was during a drunken 2 hour lunch in a Young's pub in Croydon about 35 years ago. The Folk Process in action eh?
