Hi Art
No such luck indeed.. The Oyster Girl is a simple folk tune about shagging .. I don't suppose Barnum & Bailey featured that... (LOL)
Mary I know you'll keep looking.. as for the guys at t'pub, they've been busy with other things.. namely Eric has come up with a recording of Roads of Kildare, so await the next tape with bated breath, providing I've learnt it by then.
Bob, a very good question as to where "a good song comes from".. for the majority I have no qualms in saying.. stolen from somewhere else.. (ask George Harrison if you don't believe me)..
