I got the sheep shearing/cuckold verse from Geoff Thompson from Sheffield one night in 1999 when he was at The Press Room on this side of the pond. (Along with a more recent verse about British Rail.)

I've always done this a cappella and I've never heard it accompanied. Like most a capella songs, I think accompaniment would distract the singer and detract from the song.

My tuppence...
