Subject: RE: When I was going o're Salisbury Plain
Miniscule addition - Robin gave me the following words for verse 3 in 1969. That's not necessarily what's on the record - just what he said.

The landlord and landlady walks hand in hand
And so do they pretty girls, too;
And each one brought out a bottle of gin
For to drink a good health Blues: x2


One French horn.

N.B. You know that "rout" refers to get up & go ... march out. Not at all rout as in wild defeat.
