Hi all

I have the words for this song but not the tune. I have heard someone sing 
this at Whitby but unbuttoned synapses prevent me from remembering who it 
was. John Kirkpartrick is a possibility. Perhaps you clever ones will know 
where I can get the tune. The chorus goes:

Lie low sweet Randall
Now you young men all who do eat full well
And they that sup right merry
Tis far better, I entreat to have toads for your meat
Than to eat of the wild wild berry.

I've just had  toads for tea - yum.

Best wishes

Geraldine

I'm pretty sure it's on one of the Voice of the People CDs, but I can't 
access them to check at the moment.  You might try on Mudcat - there's 
almost bound to be someone who knows on there.

The song is also recorded on "Far From The Lowlands", a CD by the
American singer Judy Cook, http://judycook.net/index.htm.
