A very old man sets out to get married.
The Cellar Door
A bit of a bawdy song about a young woman who gets the best of a man who won't pay for her favours.
The Forecastle Yard
A man overhears his lover courting another.
Forty Miles
A refuge on a stormy night leads to love and marriage.
I Took a Trip to London
A liar's song that is fun to listen to.
The Orangeman's Dream
A Protestant finds it a bit difficult to get past the gates of heaven.
