Dave Sutherland Lyr Req: Little Chance - song from NE England (11) RE: Lyr Req: Little Chance - song from NE England 09 Jun 14

The Elliott Family only ever sang the first five verses but others (Bob Davenport recorded it as so) were including the last two verses when I started in the folk clubs in 1966. As to who wrote those two verses I have only heard it suggested that it was Ed Pickford (he was one of the first that I heard sing it)but I am quite willing to be proved wrong. BTW I always knew the last verse as "alang the Felling Shore"
