Yes Robert Barratt and George Dowden, a master carter and sea captain respectively. They used to sing together in the Blue Vinny Pub Puddletown. Robert Barratt had throat cancer when he sang to the Hammonds. I have dug up an extra verse to the regular verses. I used to be a fowler as my father did before The Gentry they enclosed the land so now I break the law. So now I break the law my boys for I think poaching's fair It's my delight &co Not sure it's traditional, and does not appear in any street literature. Nice verse though.
