Four Songs From Alan

Here we have four songs from Alan. They were sent to me quite some time ago, so they are not specifically winter songs. Apologies for the delay and I hope next year we will all be together and singing these songs.

Buttercup Joe

Alan has introduced this song at Chichester and Worthing.

Love And The Ball

Alan writes: I thought this is an interesting song as it is the earliest such thing I can find re. stoolball, the local game that predated cricket but with similar rules. I used to play it at the Youth Club up in Surrey 'when I were a lad'.

Off We Go A hunting

Alan writes: Just for fun. I don't which know set of words came first, Donkey or Fox. I added a verse to make it a bit Sus-sexy. Note that nobody caught Mr Reynard. Horses Neck is a cocktail.
