CXVI.
There is a great deal of laughing over "Jacky," which suggests:—
|
When me get a Mister Walker gate, Me will laugh, ha, ha, ha, ha! Me will laugh hé, hé, hé, hé! Me will laugh ha, ha!* Me will laugh qua, qua, qua, qua! Me will laugh ha, ha!* Me will laugh till me bustle drop! Me will laugh ha, ha!* Me will laugh há, há, há, há! Me will laugh ha, ha!* Me will laugh ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha! Me will laugh ha, ha! |
At the marks * a return is made to the first four bars, always substituting a new name for Walker, and the tune has many more "turnings" besides the ones noted.
A sufficient selection of Ring tunes has now been given to show their character. The number might be indefinitely increased. Every district has its own, and while some old favourites remain, new ones are constantly in process of making. These supply, or more than supply, the gaps caused by those which drop out.
