The version in the DT says it was collected in Bangor, North Wales from Tommy Flynn. Tommy Flynn was before my time of going to the Bangor sessions ?the days of the Ship Launch? but the version I remember from the Bangor sessions always had the "Rats the devils..." in it and a few people would sometimes raise their glass to Tommy Flynn after singing it - I wonder if the dt version is an accurate transcription of what he sang.

Mike Donahue, if he is who I'm thinking of, again before my time in Bangor, is a possibility. Amanda once gave me a recording, I'm not sure if I still have it.
