Hi Brian
I should really have said the prospect/desire/hope for.. a shagging...
especially the line " I sell them three a penny, but I'll give you one for free"
This particular ditty aside, which I have now cobbled together the chords from the various sources (and thanks to all) I am much taken by your reference to the publication "Songs of the Midlands".. living as I do in Leicestershire..not having come across it.. and more so by you mentioning the Gower Pennisular which is by far and away the most beautiful part of the British Isles...
Phil Tanner is also a new name to me. I am thankful to this wonderful site and all I have learnt over the past 12 months.
Mick
