I once heard a recorded version of "Dog and Gun" (it's on the DT database) with a different tune and modified words. I've forgotten all the words but the first verse went: "A wealthy young squire in Downforth (?) did dwell/ He courted a lady and he loved her right well/ The day was appointed for their wedding day/ And a farmer was appointed to give the bride away." The story is the same.

Anyway, I, being a nasty unscrupulous modifier, wrote an epilogue to tie up some loose ends. Here it is.

But what of the squire, what's happened to him?
He lost his true love, and things looked rather grim
But things in stories work out as they seldom do in life
For the farmer had a sister...who became the squire's wife

Any other epilogues out there to famous or infamous songs? And does anyone know who did that other version of "Dog and Gun?" I heard it on the radio in the early 80's.
