BillE	Origins: Rap Her to Bank (from The Watersons) (32)	RE: Rap her to bank - The Watersons	06 Oct 08
The Deputy verse may come from 'Jowl and Listen': "The deputy crawls from flat to flat The putter rams the chummins And the man at the face must kna his place Like a mother knas her young un." Source: Notes from Leader LEA 4001 LP 1969 Not forgetting Pete Wood's excellent book - The Elliotts of Birtley - launched at Whitby this year, which gives this verse as: "The deppity craals fre flat te flat, The putter rams the tyum 'uns, And the man at the face must knaa his place Like a mother knaas her young 'uns." Some subtle and interesting differences! Dialect is a wonderful thing... Bill
