Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Butter and Cheese - Sam Larner
It is not quite the Version Sam Larner sang:

Here are Sams words where it is pretty different:

Verse 3: ... I went into the Parlor My own true Love to Please

Verse 6

So up the top the Master went to drive Old Harry out

Last Verse

Now some they said it was Old Nick For him they very well know And some they said twas the Devil himself For I was as black as a crow The dogs did bark, the Children Screamed out flew the old womes all .... Taken fom: Now os the Time for Fishin on Folkways (from 1961)

Greetings
