Pete sang this song at a sing around at Saltburn festival, but due to aching laughter I forgot to ask for the words.

He then went on to win the Singer Song writer competition with an equally good (though serious) song.

Congratulations sir - should you or your brother pick up this thread!

I have emailed Pete McNab on two occasions within the last year to ask him if I could use this song in my reportoire, I have not had a reply to either of them.
That of course is his choice, a reply would have been nice if only to say no.
As Harvey Andrews said to me some years back a song not sung is a dead song.

Never heard Pete Singh the song. But it would be hard to surpass Gideon Barretts version. We have heard him sing it many a time, the song is best sung standing on a chair, it's the physical actions that makes the song ad well. we had the pleasure of him singing it for us at our wedding in Dublin last year in O'Donohues of Merrion Row.

I wouldn't be surprised to hear that Gideon was singing it in Bampton over this last weekend!
