WILLOW WREN BRIDE
I have transcribed the words to this song from the 1975 BBC recording 'Narrowboats' and included then on the web-site :
Songs of the Inland Waterways. I also include them here :

I met a bloke walking through Bedworth
He said I could laugh 'til I cried
I've been and got shot of me mate on the cut
And he's married a Willow Wren bride
Married, married
He's married a Willow Wren bride

There isn't much of this song here and I am interested in knowing if there is any more. In fact, any information about this song would be welcome.
