I wonder what song holds the title for most distinct incarnations? Whack fall the day Nick |

One of the useful hints given to aspiring folk song collectors in the early years of the 20th century was, if in doubt, ask your singer if they know that one that starts "as I walked out" (or "as I roved out"); pretty much guaranteed to get results, but no knowing what it would turn out to be. "Come all ye" was almost as good. |
