Thread Name: Shaking hands in folksongs - instances?
Subject: RE: Shaking hands in folksongs - instances?
"handshaking apparently having been a conventional sign of affection between lovers,"
Which rules out Morrisey and the Russian sailor who "both shook hands, walked round the ring, prceeding then to fight" and the Kerry Recruit who "shook hands with his spade" - damn!"
