@ebenbrooks I actually like that line. Consider it added to my personal version

@TawnyGoblinQueen Yeah, that happens a lot in the SCA, too. In fact, the version I'm singing in this video is actually an amalgam of three different versions I've encountered over the years, with my own little twist thrown in for good measure. ;-)

@TawnyGoblinQueen This is a folk song. Trying to assign concrete lyrics to a folk song is like trying to herd cats. ;-)

@ebenbrooks Actually the verse goes..."Some friends and I in a public house
Were playing a game of chance one night
When into the pub a fireman ran
His face all a chalky white. "
