Text of a Plough-Jags/Ploughboys play (141 lines, 3 tunes) collected from

and Christmas are also mentioned in the text. The characters are; Fool/Tommy,
Recruiting Sergeant, Farmer's Man, Lady, Old Dame Jane, Beelzebub/Beelzie and

revived in Bottesford, Leics., and for Grantham Festival of Music and Drama in
