I learnt it from Louis, who still performs it. I agonised over cutting the 'furrow' section (i'm certainly not in the habit of cutting out rude bits for the sake of it) but in the end decided that it was jarringly puerile in what is otherwise such a dignified, weighty song. I now sing 'for I plough my own furrow and others may do what they will' which I hope follows the sense of the verse.

I'm still not 100% sure what the 'doldrums' are, Think I may have lengthened them though... Jon
