Does anyone have the lyrics for the trad. Scots song "Poor Wee Jockey Clarke," recorded by Richard Thompson on his "Watching the Dark" compilation. I can make out most of it by listening to the CD, but my Scots isn't good enough to catch all the references. A printed text would help. Thanks.

18 years later - the best I can find is an old broadside entitled, "My Father's Old Coat", which mentions "Puir Wee Johnny Clark" as opposed to "Jockey Clarke". It's at https://digital.nls.uk/broadsides/view/?id=14942&transcript=1.
