Quite right, except Adge was from Pensford. Many of his songs were recorded live at the Royal Oak, Nailsea. Also "thee casn't" is a contraction of thou canst not. Thees (pronounced with a final s not z sound so not like these)is "thou hast" (ie. you [singular] have. The above lyrics render it "he's" which makes no sense at all. The same mistake has been made in the lyrics accompanying the Youtube recording of Thees got'n where thees cassn' back'n hass'n.
