Hi Jay77

I would love to see the lyrics that your father had collected too. I love the song, it's got quite a beautiful melody. There's been a bit of discussion on this in the past. I believe the rape verses have been covered along with the "buckles on the shoe" & "dancing" & the "frock for your lad" verses have also been covered. Would love to haer more though if you can add to what's already been put forth.
Thanks
Barry
