Well, you gotta laff! I thought we were talking about rumbelow in the song!

Now we know know the multifarious meanings of the word I expect we are all thoroughly bored with it. On to something else, which I wanted to bring up earlier - one of the things that really interests me about "Hal and Tow" is the mention of Robin Hood and Little John. They are a long way from their usual haunts of the Midlands and the Borders, in fact this is the only time I can recall their appearance in a West Country song. Is this holiday of theirs in Cornwall unique, or has anyone come across them in the West before?
