[nikifor10]

no legs at all, Jesus!!!!

Great song!

[o0micmac0o]

There's a very different reworked/updated version by The Imagined Village here - watch?v=EMpzWrDss_s

It imagines a (presumably British) soldier returning home after being injured in Iraq or Afghanistan.

[HMSPolychrest]

The image has nothing to do with the song, other than the fact she is showing her legs.

Hells Bells, at least show something relevant.

[mattstrange]

its the cover of the compilation the songs on, idiot.

[HMSPolychrest]

Demonstrably, no.

[carbunicle]

@mattstrange There are no other pictures obviously. Anywhere. On the internet.

[Aettaro]

@HMSPolychrest I noticed that myself, I half expected them to get blown off at some point.

[joshamore]

i'm partial to the boiled in lead version.

[betterthanyourmom]

I didn't know John Reilly could sing. He's in alot of good movies, and the song reminds me of Gangs of New York.

[LordGodofMercy]

A lovely old English ballad first collected

from Bedfordshire

[me162009]

I went to a celtic (irish) concert and heard this song!

[Hallucigenius]

Ah, love this! I should find Tim Hart and Maddy Prior's old version and get it on here. Still my fave.

[taramas489]

My son John was tall and slim And he had a leg for every limb But now hes got no legs at all For he ran a race with a cannonball Oh were you deaf or were you blind When you left your two fine legs behind? Or was it sailing on the sea Wore your two fine legs right down to your knee? I was not deaf, I was not blind When I left my two fine legs behind Nor was it sailing on the sea Wore me two fine legs right down to me knee

[swaplap]

thank you so much for this! i'm just back at my mate's house and put in this song randomly 'cause it's one of my faves, didn't expect to get it on youtube though! well chuffed! wales, uk x x billice x x x

[alexicon89]

[Hardecnut]

Yea, they didn't have sneakers back then. Dumb bastards.

[alexicon89]

It makes no sense + its crappily drawn.
