[edit] Lyrics

I have fixed the formatting regarding the lyrics which were dropped in by a newbie at some point. The lyrics are obviously in the public domain, dating back to at least 1888 (I honestly thought the song was centuries older!). 23skidoo (talk) 03:00, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] clouds/claps

I have changed the word thunderclouds to thunderclaps in the lyrics. Googling I discover that both are familiar, but thunderclaps is more common, and it makes more sense - how can a cloud rend the air? I suspect the version with clouds is a misremembered form, especially since thunderclap is not a word everyone is familiar with. But if anyone thinks it deserves a note, please add a comment at the bottom. --Doric Loon (talk) 10:32, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
