NOTES [58 words]: There is a sequel to this, "Teddy Regan's Swarie," beginning "You have heard of Teddy Regan, How he won his Winnie fair, And her fortune, fifty guineas, Set them up in business rare." It can be found in Thats-The-Style-For-Me-Songster, pp. 54-55, and Old-Clowns-Whoa-January-Songster, pp. 26-27, but it does not seem to have gone into tradition. - RBW
