Does anybody know any songs unique to the county of Kent (England)please?

There's the hop-picking song, song years ago by Shirley Collins on an early Steelye album, with a fairly rollickking chorus. I haven't got the lyrics, but they might be on the DT. It begins "Hopping's just beginning..."

"The Nutting Song."
I don't know if "Old Kent Road" would do you.
Then there's "Hopping down in Kent"
& "Marching through Rochester"
DT will give you four hits for Bedlam
and 25 hits for Dover
