To be pedantic about Baz's and Guest's verses 2 and 3, the versions I learnt from when my dad used to sing it in Cornish pubs were: White stockans, white stockans she wore White stockans, white stockans she wore White stockans she wore The same as before Goin' up Camborne 'll, comin' down I knawed 'er old father, old man I knawed 'er old father, old man I knawed 'er old man He blawed in the band Goin' up Camborne 'll, comin' down The third verse "I 'ad her..." is often politely left out in "family" situations.
