Well it was seeing Jeff Davis and Brian Peters perform it at Croydon folk club on Monday night that brought me running to Mudcat to look it up and bump this thread six years after it was started.

Watch out, I'm going to gush... That was a terrific evening with some great songs, and this was one of the ones that really stood out. Jeff is just a fantastic singer (I expect everyone else here knows this, but I didn't).

(I was the one who did the melodeon floorspot with the incredibly long bellows action).

[scary fan moment over]

So anyway - I found this on the internet. Would this be the same tune I heard on Monday? The words are fairly different.
