Hi,

just looking for the title of an English folk song, its either a drinking song or a wassail song (similar I know). I have tried the search engine.

I only have a small snippet but I think its fairly well known so this might be enough

So bring me a barrel
and .. drink ?.. it up ...

So bring me a barrel

Could be performed by Watersons or Rattlebag or Witches of Elswick or Grace Note or Silly Sisters etc.

Here's hoping

Jiggers

Bring Us a Barrel, by Keith Marsden. You might have heard Cockersdale sing it.

Thanks - looks right. I had 'me' instead of 'us' in my searches :-(
It was Witches of Elswick I heard ...
