Thread Name: Origins: The White/Blue/Green Cockade
Subject: RE: Blue Cockade Origins ?
I sometimes, when I remember or am not forced by the audience
to sing the more common alternative,
sing the below chorus from Purslow's Constant Lovers (page 1)
to the popular song "A-Nutting We Will Go"

"Then a nutting we will go, a nutting we will go,
With a Blue Cockade all in our hats we'll cut a gallant show."

Frank says NOTHING about this chorus in his notes?
