A copy of an e-mail from Irish:
Hi Joe, Thank you for replying to my request. The song is very old. I thought it was called I Can't change it. But maybe not. I assume it came from England. The bloke was going to cheat a blind man because he couldn't change the shilling and chop his wife up for kindling wood because of her wooden leg. There was more but I can't remember any. Gosh I hope that it turns up somewhere. Thank you for your help. Regards Irish.
