Rosin the Beau

Who was old Rosin the Beau? Some rustic rake of the 18th century, it is supposed. In any case, the airy old tough has scattered his children everywhere, and among the younger of these - in both words and tune - is the well know Wrap Me Up In My Tarpaulin Jacket. In America the tune is the best known to the words of Acres of Clams.
