Thank you. It’s towards the end. Harry did a long does a long speal
intro about clog fighting and then he sings the song. But there’s a wow and flutter on his banjo. And the words to the song are a tad unclear, I could upload it to YouTube and maybe they’ll crates transcription.

It's a 52 minute recording. I wondering about when in that hour the song you're after is.

Re: Clog Fighting or
Up and Downing or Purring

Harry Boardman sings a song about this.

Does anyone know the words please?

Also he mentions the disastrous Lancashire Cotton Famine which was a consequence of the American Civil War.

Here is Lancashire mon Harry Boardman …
