NOTES [50 words]: Roud lumps this with the regular "Bell-Bottom Trousers," i.e. "Rosemary Lane" [Laws K43]. Obviously that was the source. But equally obviously, this has been so heavily rewritten that I would regard it as a separate song. It's the same plot, in a way, but from a completely different perspective. - RBW
