There's a verse in Prospect, Providence, Perseverance that goes There'll be no more bawling of a weaver out when a piece makes the menders grieve "Oh, my shuttles were all cracked so I'd too many traps, and the weft's not fit to weave" Then the spinner finds fault with the willyer's blend, who says that his rags were too cheap And the blame gets passed right down the line, till the gaffer goes and kicks the sheep If that's what you're thinking of, there are recordings by Brian Peters, and by The Fagans.
