Nice tune, and I'm still laughing at the name and the fact that _you_ posted it. Well done, Pants.

Aiden Crossey submitted it as `the Pullet that wants the cock`.

Both v. strange names for a tune, especially if you take pants in its English sense of "underpants" as opposed to "trousers".

Was there not a tune called "Catch my cock and pullet"? Please don't.

Mixing the 2 titles is even more risque: "Pullet In His Pants" and "The Boy That Wants The Cock".

Pullets, cocks, pants and what-have-you

With all due respect to Marco, the version of the tune which I posted seems to be quite different in a number of phrases to that which Marco has put on the site. I tried to transcribe fairly faithfully Céide's version which seems to have quite a few more half-notes and long notes than La Lugh's version?

My heavens, however did I miss this one? Is it too late to make a clever remark?

"The Pullet Wants a Cock" ~ another slant on this one
