Hi Jeff...Yes - I meant to look at Julia & Fred's book (as I saw the reference in the Roud Index)..but I hadn't got around to it yet..Good Spot!! To busy watching TV...Three British crime serials..... With the two references above, it does look like it Not being English...but interesting that there were two versions collected in Hampshire, even if the best was from an Australian, as in the 2nd reference above. I have not seen it in the Greig/Duncan Collection, but will look again. It doesn't feel Scottish or Colonial to me, and with the reference to Rodney (who I assume is the famous Admiral..)..who I have not researched yet...makes it feel English...But in the end it does not matter...It's just a good story and song... Tim
