GUEST,Mike Yates Lyr Req: Trooper Cut Down in His Prime (Roy Palmer (47) RE: Lyr Req: 'Trooper Cut Down in His Prime' - Palmer 22 May 16

Ewan probably heard Harry Cox singing his version of the song, but Ewan's words are different in many places to what Harry sang, and I suspect that Ewan added a few words himself. I have recorded the song from a number of traditional singers and none used the word "bundooks", for example. Mind you, you do have to admire Ewan's chutzpah. How he had the nerve to record albums of British soldier's songs is beyond me.
