Hello Everyone,
My dad used to sing this song when I was a boy and I always remember the end,"and that was the end of lilly white sands,
    The donkey and the ratcatchers daughter".
I was born in 1937 so it was a while ago.I just googled up "the donkey and the ratcatchers daughter" and got all this fine information.
What a beaut site.
Oigle.
