More trouble in my native land. Well ensconced in the tradition, collected by Roy Palmer and yours truly (twice) however I cannot find a reference to it anywhere. It seems too recent for street literature and does not fit in with the Music Hall, unless it's a patriotic song referring to a particular conflict. Does anybody have any knowledge of the song. You will find it on the B.L. Sound Archive under my collection or Roy Palmers. I remember Mike Yates telling me it was a very common song in his collection. Where did it originate?
