Subject: RE: The Foggy Dew[East Anglian Version]
That won't help you in the test I suggested to you, tho, I betcha plenty 6 to 5!

Point is, seriously: The Foggy Dew, thus titled, has crossed over, broken out, from just folk to one of those songs of which one can say, with at most moderate hyperbole, "'Everybody' knows" (or at least has heard of): like My Old Man Says Follow The Van, say, or Twelve Days Of Christmas (which the Coppers call[ed] by another title, but nobody would recognise that either!), or Land Of Hope And Glory... cont p 98

Honest, now. I am sure you see what I mean.
