Thread Name: Origins: Tramps and Hawkers
Subject: RE: tramps and hawkers
MacColl used the tune for a radio ballad called "Come, me little son" a lullaby which tells the tale of an absent father who was working on motorway construction. It is included in the Ewan Macoll and Peggy Seeger song book published in 1963. I rather like Bob Davenport's rendition of Tramps and Hawkers
