Thanks Cashy. I think that's a Lancashire Hotpots one isn't it. I've also remembered Accrington Pals by Mike Harding

Re: Lancashire Folk Songs
Off the top of my head: Old Pendle, Rawtenstall annual fair, Manchester Rambler, Droylsden Wakes, The poor cotton weaver, The Shurat weaver, A Mon like thee, Cob coaling Song, Four-Loom weaver, Bury new loom
Then there's all the stuff written by the Oldham Tinkers, Fivepenny Piece, Alan Bell of the Blackpool Taverners... plus the Spinners stuff if you consider Liverpool as Lancashire.

I may be a wage slave on Monday but I am a free man on Sunday. Pure poetry. Although I think Hugh Davies is better ;-)
