It would end my constant torment and relieve me of incessant agonies if only some kind soul could point me in the right direction with one of those "Oh so easy to do blueclickythings" that I will master one day, if only I could follow the instructions. |

"Name, William Hill, Occupation, a miner for lead. As I said, it's in reply to a census form, British, possibly north-midlands area. Not sure of name of miner, just that he is struggling on with several kids after his wife died, and how the eldest looks after the others etc. |

02 May 02 - 07:51 AM (#702775) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: One More Pull, Boys From: GUEST,MCP, Lyric Add (separate thread) The miner for lead song you want is called The Census and the miner's name is actually William Gill. I've posted the words in a separate thread Lyric Add: The Census. If the One More Pull song is the Ian Woods' one (One more pull boys, that'll do boys..) there was a thread about it recently Lyric Req:One More Pull. No words there, but a link to a recording of the chorus, and IIRC the original post was from someone who'd recorded it, so you could probably get the words there. Mick |

02 May 02 - 08:33 PM (#703278) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: One More Pull, Boys From: Crane Driver I believe this (One More Pull, Boys) is the song that Ian Woods and Ken Stephenson both wrote separately - they worked out the tune & chorus together, then went off and each wrote a totally different set of verses. So there's two versions. We (Baggyrinkle) do one of them, I think it's Ken's words. Catch us at Hull this summer, and ask Billy to give you one more pull. You should get a reputation quite quickly.
