Thread Name: Lyr Req: Billy Cocked Hat (Don Bilston)
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Billy Cocked Hat
By the way the extra verse goes like this

I jumped the brush with bunk eyed Kate
We both got drunk on two months pay
Me money was gone I couldn't get slate
so I sold her for a shilling to a gangers mate

Bunk eyed means crossed eyed, and the wife for sale reference is a
different thread no doubt.
