Harvey	Lyr Req: Willy 'Ole Lad (7)	Willy 'ole lad	17 Mar 02
I've heard this song from time to time at various singarounds & I want to learn it. However, it's not on DigiTrad. This may be becaise it's a 20th century song and still in copyright. The chorus is: Well I dare say he's young now, and handsome And his eyes are a fine smiling blue, But he's clogs, and he'll always be clogs, lass, Yon willy 'ole lad's not for you. A "willy hole lad" was the lowest paid job in a cotton mill, involving crawling into the willy hole of a power loom to retrieve cotton waste. Does anyone know all the words?
