1697 I'LL TAKE THE LEGS (From Some Old Table)
DT says Tune: Washington and Lee Swing - is this it? I remember this tune from the early 50's when Max Bygraves used to sing it to Archie Andrews. Only in Britain could a ventriloquist's not only have his own radio show, but top the ratings! Bygraves' song went:
I'll take the legs from some old table,
I'll take the arms from some old chair,
I'll take the neck from some old bottle,
And from a horse I'll take the hair.
I'll take the hands and face from off the clock,
And, Archie, when I'm through
You'll have a lovely little baby dummy,
And he'll be a friend to you.

2848 THE PUB WITH NO BEER
Virtually identical to the DT version. The Dubliners sing the chorus only as a first and last verse, and omit DT's verse 4. Only major differences are:
Verse 2, line 4 The barman says sadly (not "suddenly")
Verse 5, line 1 Oh Billy the blacksmith (not "pity the blacksmith")

3684 WHAT IS JENNIE WEEPING FOR
In this unaccompanied version from 1968 by the Oldham Tinkers the words are identical (apart from "was" for "sat" in verse 1) to McColl's Streets of Song No 13, as given in the notes to this song in the DT.
