This thread has given me a good laugh!
I have a photocopy of page 153 from the Journal of the Folk Song Society of 1905-6 where Tarry Trowsers is published. RVW says it was collected from Mrs Humphreys formerly of Laindon, now of Ingrave.
If anyone would like me to copy the words I would be happy to do so.The wax cylinder recording is just a little indistinct, although my namesake's diction is exceptionally good.
Les from Chorlton and John C if you know Dave Bishop, get him to tell you all he knows about Mrs H. He is her greatest fan!
