Thread Name: Any January Songs?
Subject: RE: Any January Songs?
January Man used to get sung a lot, good song, has all months.
I've usually done 'Concerning of three young men, One night in January'
(I'm not into poaching and wouldn't eat game or shoot gamekeepers)
Thank you , I think your song is usually called THE BOLD POACHERS Lots of information about it on the Mainly Norfolk site https://mainlynorfolk.info/martin.carthy/songs/theboldpoachers.html
