GUEST,Chris T. Lyr Req: Pitman's Love Song 'I wish my love...' (5) Help: 'I wish my love ...' lyrics 08 Feb 01

Hi there,

I'm only an occasional lurker on this list, so please excuse any breaches of etiquette.

With Valentines Day around the corner I was searching my depleted memory banks for a few choice words. Around 20 years ago I recall reading some text in a folk song book. It was a repetitive "I wish my love were..." poem, but only the memorable final verse has stuck. Any ideas about where I might locate the rest of it? The final verse is as follows. I assure you that the preceeding verses are completely innocent, so please don't take offence.

"I wish my love were a ripe turd smoking on yon dyke side, And if I were a shitten flea, I'd sook her up before she was dry"

Leads appreciated. Thanks,

Chris T. Hants, UK.
