Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Escape of Old John Webb/Billy Broke Locks
I always thought that John Webb was jailed for counterfeiting ten pound notes and this is where "tenner" came from.

Also, I ran across this song done by John and Lucy Allison. I don't remember where I found it, but I like it. Nothing fancy but they use a recorder (I guess) to good effect.
