Thread Name: There's a Herrin' in the pan
Subject: There's a Herrin' in the pan
Does anyone know anything about this song? I learned it from a Gordeanna McCullough/Clutha CD and I'd like to know where it's from and if it's traditional or not. I've trawled the internet but there doesn't seem to be much about it online.
If you don't know it the first verse goes:
"There's a herrin' in the pan for you old man There's a herrin' in the pan for you old man The heid's for you and the tail's for me But the middle's for the lodgin' man"
