Subject: Lyr Add: Down the Lane / Soldiers half a crown
Down The Lane
Down the lane Down the lane There are lots of dirty women Gonorrhea is rather dear And syphilis a shilling Soldiers half a crown Sailors half a guinea Big fat men two pound ten Many dicks a penny
Spoken: I've a penny.
Transcribed from Medical Students Sing Rugby Songs LP, [1971], [Harry Morgan (compiler)], Sportsdisc Records. Sung by medical students from Bartholomew Medcial College, London.
The tune is a variant of "Ten Men Went to Mow a Meadow".
