Words in Secret Stream Volume 2 learned from Romany Gypsy Nora Nutter 1947 by Mally Dow her Granddaughter. Mally received 6d for standing on a table singing it, then doing a clog dance in the Red Lion pub Colne. Her tanner was quickly spent upon coal, for Nora, who had no money at the time. Survival skills were learned at an early age! (That's why she made a man of me!) Mally still sings it at age 81.
