and dont call it a BRITISH folk song, theres no such thing in the UK - only English, Scottish, Welsh or Irish folk songs, and various subdivisions - eg Cornish, Northumberland, Lincolnshire etc  :-P

So which of all the alternatives is it, then? Perhaps we could call it a "European folk song". ;-) I would say it is, just like it is a British one. Bromskloss 17:05, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

Hi just thought i should say Lincolnshire Poacher is also the regimental song and a march for the 2nd Battalion Royal Anglian Regiment "the poachers" The song is very important to the battalion and can be heard on many times being sung at full volume from messes and partys wherever a "poacher" is based.
