Old Sam Small - Pick up tha' Musket -- Stanley Holloway

Right behind the perils of young Albert Ramsbottom came the tales of old and sometimes not so old Small, soldier, sturgeon catcher and much more. Here he is in the famed 'Pick up tha Musket'. A1 Stanley, I say ( and Mr Marriott, but, Stan brought your words to life to make it all his own. )
