I remember well (one night at the Waggon & Horses, Bridge Street) Harry commenting that someone [he mentioned the name, but as a contemporary of Jim C and FolkieDave, the memory ain't what it

was :-)- might have been Paul Graney] said that there was a variant -

Aw've been blint at Dukinfield
An' Aw've been deaf at Shay [sic - dialect pron 'Shaw']
An mony's the reet an' willin' lass
Aw've bedded in the hay.'
