This is not the English folk song. It was written by a prolific Music Hall songwriter, GW Hunt, in the late 19th century. I first heard it sung by Ed McCurdy. It's a novelty song.

A bawdy song I learnt when I was in my teens. This is a Midlands UK version. There are many variations. Sometimes called "The Assumption song" because of its many innuendos.

A poignant ballad about where I live. Someone gave me the lyrics (I believe they wrote it) but I can't recall who it was. If any body knows, tell me. It's a fine song and I enjoyed recording it.

This is a traditional song. I learned it from Uncle Sam Gorman, a traveller, in his trailer in Uttoxeter in the late 1960s.

nice!
Thanks Tim.
My song about the Scilly isles and Tresco in particular. The reference to 'marching feet' in verse 2 harks back to the Roman occupation of the islands.
Is there another name for this song, i am trying to collate all songs onto spotify?
My Dad used to sing this at family gatherings … slightly different wording in places, but so lovely to hear it again as it brings back such good memories of him. Another song I remember from my childhood was “A mother was washing her baby”. Anyone else remember that one?
Is that "my baby has gone down the plughole"? I'd forgotten about that one!
My great-grandfather was on this ship and his cousin them both were politicians and died😢
Just found this when looking for information on Trecwn, very good song and so near to the truth.....lol
Just in time for Valentines Day!!
Thanks for the reminder mate.
And my dad too. Went through two world wars. Never claimed a penny from the state. Never complained. Worked like a dog untill he was 80 and died the Monday after he stopped work on the Friday.
Argh this made me cry
This was my dads party piece. Ah memories
A fun song well performed !
Thanks.

Nice version but the original is 'When The Arkansas River Leaves Oklahoma' by Don Williams. George Jackson
I never heard this by Don Williams before singing it. My tune is remarkably similar! It was written by Wayland D Holyfield. I don't know who rewrote it for the Severn idea. I tweaked a few sentences, but that's all.
Good one ! Where do you find all these gems ?
As I say, I collected this from Sam Gorman, one of Pauline's uncles, sitting in a trailer in Uttoxeter. He sang lots of other songs in the unique traveller's way. I feel very privileged to have known him, his family and all of Pauline's other relations.xx
@@spikewoods9565 How wonderful !
Great job dad!
I still have the 78rpm record of it. Green tree Boogie on the B side . . .
Hi Spike 50 years no see still remember visiting you and holidaying in the Silly isles with mum Ed and dad John, coming up with classics like I am a silly bugger yes I am and Jo Kyle-Price is scared of wood lice. Glad to see you are still kicking. Jo xx
Would love to get in touch so would mum and dad.xx
@@jokyle-price5024 I'm on Facebook Jo.xx
Just found you again ! Nice one I didn't know this song.
I remember seeing you and Ed at the little Thatch on Bristol Rd Gloucester
Well well . . . I remember that venue.
Did you ever record Cocaine Blues?
I've done "Take a whiff" recently. There's lots of versions.
Remember seeing you and Ed at the Little Thatch just ouside Gloucester in the late 60s
Nice one Spike, good stuff.
Thanks.
I wondered how I knew the first and last verses, though I had not heard the rest before. It's a mystery.
With feeling. 🥹
Love the guitar, a sad song well sung.
What a lovely song !
Thanks.

Thanks Jane.
Allen ist das tragische Unglück des dänischen Motorschiffes „Hans Hedtoft“ noch in frischer Erinnerung. Es sank am 30. Januar 1959 in unmittelbarer Nähe von Kap Farvel nach Kollision mit einem Eisberg. 54 Passagiere und 38 Besatzungsmitglieder fanden in den eiskalten Fluten des nördlichen Atlantischen Ozeans den Tod. Sie sind ein Opfer der entfesselten Naturgewalten geworden. Die Wetter- und Eisverhältnisse Ende Januar und Anfang Februar bei Kap Farvel haben die Suchaktion nach Überlebenden des gesunkenen Schiffes auf das stärkste behindert und an das seemännische Geschick der beteiligten Suchfahrzeuge größte Anforderungen gestellt. Zur Zeit des Unglücks war das ostgrönländische Eis infolge der orkanartigen nördlichen Winde im raschen Vordringen nach Süden. Der an der Suchaktion maßgeblich beteiligte deutsche Fischdampfer „Johannes Krüss“ wurde am 31.01.1959 durch die südwärts driftenden Eismassen zum ständigen Ausweichen nach Süden hin gezwungen, nachdem er noch zunächst in der vorangegangenen Nacht bei stürmischem Wetter inmitten des Eises die am 30.01. begonnene Suche in der Umgebung der Unfallstelle - ungeachtet der eigenen Gefahr - fortgesetzt hatte. Nach Funkmeldungen des Fischdampfers „Johannes Krüss“ war die Südgrenze des Eisfeldes um 07:00 GMT des 31.01.59 bereits bis etwa 40 Seemeilen südlich der Unfallstelle vorgedrungen. Um 10:30 GMT hatte sich das Eisfeld nach einer Funkdurchgabe des gleichen Schiffes bereits wieder verdichtet und um weitere 20 Seemeilen nach Süden ausgebreitet. Das ebenfalls zur Unfallstelle eilende Fischereischutzboot „Poseidon“ machte um 16:30 GMT des gleichen Tages auf einer etwa 65 Seemeilen südlich von Kap Farvel gelegenen Position neben einer größeren Zahl von Growlern 7 mittelgroße Eisberge aus, deren Zahl sich bis zu den Abendstunden auf etwa 20 erhöhte. Erst als am Abend des 31.01.1959 Südsturm aufkam, driftete das Eis wieder aus dem eigentlichen Suchgebiet heraus, so daß ab 02.02.59 über der freien See in diesem Gebiet Eis nicht mehr beobachtet worden ist. Zu der Behinderung der Suchaktion durch das Eis in den entscheidenden Stunden und Tagen nach dem Unglücksfall traten noch die widrigen Wind- und Seeverhältnisse, die sich an Hand der Beobachtungstagebücher der Bordwetterwarte des Fischereischutzbootes „Poseidon“ weitgehend rekonstruieren lassen. Die „Hans Hedtoft“ hatte am 30. Januar um 1200 GMT, also fünf Stunden vor dem Unfall, in ihrem Wettertelegramm bei mäßigem Schneefall Nordnordwest 5 gemeldet. Danach wurde das Wetter im Gebiet von Kap Farvel rasch schlechter. Der Fischdampfer „Johannes Krüss“, der sich nicht weit von der Unglücksstelle befand, beobachtete zur Zeit des Unfalles bereits Nordnordwest bis Nord 10 bis 12 Beaufort. Das Fischereischutzboot „Poseidon“ lag am 30. Januar nachmittags 200 Seemeilen südlich der Unfallstelle beigedreht in einem schweren, orkanartigen Nordweststurm mit Windstärken gleichfalls 10 bis 12 Beaufort; die Wellen waren im Mittel 11 Meter hoch. In der Nacht zum 31. Januar ließ der Orkan allmählich nach. Nachdem die „Poseidon“ den Unfallsraum am 01.02. erreicht hatte, kam abends nunmehr Südsturm 8 bis 10 Beaufort mit mittleren Wellenhöhen von 10 bis 11 Metern auf. Erst im Laufe des 3. Und 4. Februar ließen die Winde und Wellenhöhen zeitweise stärker nach, so daß die im Verein mit anderen Schiffen und Flugzeugen durchgeführte Suchaktion intensiviert werden konnte. Unter alleiniger Berücksichtigung der mittleren Windstärken (ohne Einschluß der Böenstärken) wurden während des Zeitraums vom 30.01. bis 03.02.1959 in fast 90% der dreistündlichen Beobachtungen der Bordwetterwarte des Fischereischutzbootes „Poseidon“ Windstärken von 6 Beaufort und mehr und in fast 55% Windstärken von 8 Beaufort und mehr beobachtet. Die Wellenhöhen während des genannten Zeitraumes betrugen in über 50% der Beobachtungen 7 Meter und mehr. Diese nüchternen Zahlen lassen erkennen, wie stark die wetterbedingte Behinderung der Suchaktion war, der im Fall einer ruhigen Wetterlage vielleicht ein Erfolg beschieden gewesen wäre.

Thanks for that comprehensive summary Enno.
