What a surpise! I though I was the only person in the world who remembered this song which I last heard about 25 years ago. It was sung by a trio from Staffordshire called Muggins Fancy, who sang in harmony...and bloody good they were too! I was under the impression that they actually wrote it, but I could well be wrong. I can just about remember the tune, and now that I've got the words (I didn't think to check the DT) I'll learn to sing it and perhaps ask that nice Noreen if she write some dots down for you. Coincidently, I was at our local folk club a few months back (The Railway, Heatley, near Lymm, Cheshire....Thursday nights, good beer, good club etc) when a bunch of lads were performing. I recognised one of the as a former Muggins Fancy member and asked if he could remember the words. Unfortunately he couldn't.
