In 'Cawsand Bay' the girl, having got her man discharged from the navy,   then 'got a shore tailor to rig her young sailor in fine nankeen breeches and a long blue-tailed coat. He looked like a squire for all to admire, with his dimity handkerchief tied round his throat.' The song was recorded by Dave Burland on his 1972 LP 'Dave Burland'. (If you only hear and don't see the words then it becomes the only folk song I know to refer to an iconic 60s television presenter.)
