On a trip to Newcastle about 7 years ago- I was talked into going to a folk club- boo hiss I thought! but I actually really enjoyed it - everybody took their own instruments and had a sort of traditional kinda Jools Holland moment. I was suprised at how many of the songs I new and could join in with.

But ever since I have been bugged by these lyrics:

My old man can't keep his hands of the bottle,
He just doesn't know when to stop,
Something snaps in his head,
And he won't come to bed,
Till he's finished every drop.

I've googled it, ask Jeevesed it - you name it I've done it to try to find out what this song is called- a sI would like to go buy it. I've been to record stores- I've asked Irish relatives- who all seem to know it when I sing it, but have no idea what it is- PLEASE HELP- I WOULD BE ETERNALLY GRATEFUL. And my friends will no longer be embarressed about me singing to comlete strangers
