Is the song you're referring to attributed to Joe Nunn? There is a song in the old Catcheside-Warrington "Tyneside Songs" called The Sandgate Lass's Lament Did the song the MacDonalds sang have a chorus? This one does, it goes: He's an ugly body, a bubbly body, an ill-far'd ugly (we used to sing "coaly") loon An Aa ha' married a keelman an ma gud days is deun. If it rings any bells with you ican post the rest of the words. Louis
