Subject: RE: He Moved through the fair
Barry Finn asked about She Fell Through/From/Down The Stairs

IIRC this was a short parody I recall Billy Connolly singing at a Humblebums gig (posibly at the Peelers Club in London) in the 60's

From the recesses of memory he referred to it as the Glasgow Tenement version and all he sang was

Oh she stepped away from me
And she fell through the flair (floor)
And she fell through the kitchen
Of the people doonstairs
As as she fell from me
These words she did say
Ohhhhhhhh (long extended cry gradually fading)

I'd forgotten all that but it came back in a flash, although some of my memory may be mistaken
