Guinness with sherry is an intresting little drink, but for the true stout imbiber it has to be Guinness with Guinness.

Err, that was the point when I filled my keyboard9 with Carlsberg Export, and it's taken me all this time to launder it and give it a permanent wave with Mrs S's hairdryer.

What I was attempting to scribble was something along the lines of asking Osson if all retired PTH aerophonists can expect summary execution at the low water mark below RHB? Gulp!

This is the first line of the chorus/2nd verse (depends on how you like to sing it) of the "Streets of Laredo". It's in the DT.

No Greg, a little bit of cross oppaling here I fancy !!

The "aerophanist" refered to by Raggy and myself was a particular objectionable Accordianist who we met at last years RHB fest who played at, with and as loud as he could whenever any one tried to do anything - usually in the wrong key - he tried to drown me out with little success. Raggy has had one or two runs in with him since.On one occasion committed the cardinal sin of spilling the Ragged Tashed Philanthropissed's pint !!!!!

So dear boy you are quite safe !!!!

Spud. There are many versions with the lines you quote; could be this one.
UNFORTUNATE GIRL, THE                Trad. From Norma/Lal Waterson CD

As I was a-walking one fine summer's morning, as I was a-walking one midsummer's day.
I met a young female all dressed in white linen, aye a-dressed in white linen and cold as the clay.
Oh Mother oh Mother come sit down beside me, now come sit down beside me and hear me sad case.
For I have loved a soldier who has lately deserted, and he's gone and he's left me in shame and disgrace.
Oh daughter dear daughter why didn't you tell me, now why didn't you tell me of it in time?
I could have bought salts, aye or the pills of white mercury; you're a true-hearted girl but cut down in your prime.
Come doctor, dear doctor, come fill up your bottles, come fill up your bottles and make them quite dry.
For me bones they are aching and me heart it is breaking, in this shame and disgrace I'm afeard I must die.
Have six jolly sailors to carry me coffin, have six jolly soldiers to sing me a song.
Have six bonny lasses carry bunches of roses, so that you can smell me as I go along.
Then play the pipes slowly and beat the drum slowly, and sing up the Dead March as you go along.
Take me to the graveyard and throw the sods on me,I'm a true-hearted girl and I never done wrong.

"The Unfortunate Girl" and "The Streets of Laredo (Cowboys Lament)" are variations of more or less the same song.

Beverley will sadly be missed this year due to previous invitations, so Friday will see us in Whitby en-route to Newton Aycliffe Saturday day time and back to Whitby for a party on Saturday night ..... me and my little accordianist buddy(who incidentally was not responsible for spilling my pint, that was Harry Wilson's pint, my pint spiller was another accordianst, must go with the instrument)had a little chat on Friday evening in the Dolphin when hopefully I managed to convey to him that his accompaniment was not always required or even welcome.......... I thought he had got the hint but heard on Saturday that the owner of the campsite had words with him in the early hours for being noisy ........ ho hum ..... beer in, wits out
