		<description><![CDATA[Jon admits “We had this as a bonus track from my brother a while back but I think it works pretty well unaccompanied so here it is again.”
I’ll agree that it suits a solo voice and it’s a winning little tune, which somewhat unaccountably seems to have spawned a number of parodies. As you’ll see [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Jon recalls “This is always a favourite on FSC with its child friendly melody but with some quite adult sentiments! I’ve always thought Tom Waits would do a good version of it, and I&#8217;ve just discovered that he has (of sorts) as you’ll see on YouTube.”
A song Harry McClintock claimed to have written in 1895 [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Jon accredits this as “From Barry Dransfield. The tune is very old but this is the best use of it I&#8217;ve come across.”
Mainly Norfolk seems to indicate that there are several different ‘nonsense’ chorus variants and this one seems to be Dransfield’s. I’m also intrigued by Bert’s notes about the age and origins of the [...]]]></description>

Interesting that the subtext here is &#8216;you might as well run off with a gypsy because he might be a lord in disguise&#8217;, unlike Seven [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Jon has this one down as “Possibly the first folk song I ever &#8216;performed&#8217; &#8211; in a campfire scene in a school play. Basically a version of Verdant Braes Of Skreen and as before learnt from Planxty.”
I’ll refer you straight back to May 4th and the other version of this. There are several variants with [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Jon calls this one “A bizzarre little ditty from the Coppers that feels like it may have started life as a poem with a very peculiar meter.”
I’ll agree that it has something of the poetic about it and seems almost too thoughtfully structured to be anything but a very specific composition. For me it seems [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Jon recalls “I remember my Gran (who died recently) singing me this as a child. If it had only been traditional I could get lots of folk points for that! I often sing this at festival soundchecks when the audience are watching (an awkward arrangement!) &#8211; the audience normally finish the chorus off.”

Another from the Child collection (#219) and a rather strange, poetic song. This Mudcat thread [...]]]></description>

Everywhere I look this seems to come up as being a Cornish song, but things are slightly confused as there is also a version that involves a soldier or ‘bold grenadier.’ It seems [...]]]></description>
