Reading the words they suggest the same tune as T' Dog and Gun, where the missus taunts the errant husband with her passion for the old postman..

I'd still like to know what they sing EW's lyrics to.

As I understand it Waugh did suggest 'Sung to a traditional air' for some of his writings, as Burns did. So they wre not just meant as poems.

Some of his poems were set to music by others but some of his poems feel like songs and I assume being who he was and where he lived he knew traditional songs.
