NOTES [47 words]: The text in Morgan/Green-RugbySongs is fairly heavily expurgated (seven words omitted in three verses), and I have to admit that there are three cases where I can't guess the omitted word. I'm pretty innocent in these things, but it still hints at an odd dialect or something. - RBW
