GUEST,Xithi	Tune Req: Pyecombe Crook (4)	Tune Req: Pyecombe Crook	24 Sep 18
Hi all, According to the Wikipedia article for the Pycombe Crook (a type of shepherd's crook), the crook itself is immortalised in song, with the following lyrics: Hefty of arm he hammered it out, in clangour of forge and flame of fire; Red it rolled on the anvil's bosom, Bent and bowed to the smith's desire; He laughed as he lifted it, laughed and sang The song that is older than ink or pen: "O well I know, Who knows no book, Where'er you go Is never a crook, Can better the crooks of the Pyecombe forge, The crooks of the Pyecombe men." Does anybody know the tune? Can't find it anywhere. Thanks Max
