Passing through Heckmondwike on Tuesday put the refrain into my head where it's stuck ever since... |

It's published in his book A Countryman's Chronicle Part Four, which is dated 2001. (It's fellow-Catter Shantyfreak who does a splendid rendition of this verse at singarounds etc. by the way.) Hope this info helps. MM |
