I wasn't trying to put you down, Shula. I got caught on the very same song a while back, because I was looking under "chewing." Here's an interesting URL that's very applicable to this thread:

It's the Dr. Demento lyrics site. What's there is good, but many gems are missing. I checked the UW Parkside lyrics database and the International Lyrics Server, and what I came up with was an copy of the Digital Tradition transcription of the "spearmint" version of the song. I think Lonnie Donnegan changed more of the song than just adding the tin whistle line. Anybody know anything more about Lonnie's version?
And I certainly wouldn't refer to Lonnie Donnegan as rock 'n roll. Perhaps one would refer to him in Peter, Paul and Mary's words as a "nasty, unscrupulous modifier of folk songs." Of course, one could refer to PP&M that way, too....Harumpf.
