Another tune of which I know nothing other than its name.

It is a song from Newcastle upon Tyne and commemorates the time when gas lighting was installed to illuminate the clock on the cathedral tower.
Brilliant Theo and I'm really enjoying trying to understand the Geordie-ese! ;)

Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Georgia, Connecticut, Massachusetts Bay, Maryland, North and South Carolina, New Hampshire, Virginia, New York, Rhode Island/Providence . .. I make that 13?

Well played, tricky tune (ditto those colonists, from King George's point of view).  Tea time ...  :|glug

Not only listing the original 13 states but listing them in order of admission into the union. Very good!

3 wonderful memories of the 70s .. in a (1-)row!

Innocent Hare was the first song I did on a foreign stage - Leiden festival 1971  :P  I can also report that a Flemish pipe/drum bands turned up on Gooikoort on Sunday and played "Foul Weather Call" about 95% same as your version, except thay called it "March of the Greys" or something similar. Is there a connection?
