WE ARE POOR FROZEN OUT GARDENERS.
This is the tune of many songs. If the reader should meet any half-a-dozen
men perambulating the streets of London together, and singing, the probabilities
are great that they sing to this tune. Sometimes the men are dressed like sailors ;
at other times they look like workmen out of employment. I recollect hearing
the tune at Kilburn, full forty years ago, and have, with tolerable annual
regularity, ever since. I regret never having stopped to hear the words.
