Hi Liz,

I see what you mean. I have had a few listens and I reckon the first line of the second stanza is:

'Was slam, round, change and fire'

The fifth stanza is difficult to decipher, but my best shot at it is:

At length one lies and what a sight
Was then on Norton Green
And what a squall at Osborne Stall
When they fired a magazine
The crackers flew and serpents too
Made all the neighbours quake
Folks thought the devil, obscene but civil
Had come to New Bell Wake

In the sleeve notes to the original vinyl issue, Bailey says his source was 'Room for Company' edited by Roy Palmer. Someone may have this and be able to correct or confirm.
