I'm looking for a score/recording/midi of this 19th century weavers' song. Can't seem to find anything anywhere. Does anybody know of one?

Is that a version of Poverty Knock? http://www.traditionalmusic.co.uk/song-midis/Poverty_Knock.htm#.UVA1iRedByw

If it is the same as Poverty Knock, the Spinners recorded a version of it in the 70s
Saxy, there's an old song about weaving mills called Poverty Knock. Perhaps Poverty could easily be corrupted to Bobbity.

oops ........ sorry about the duplication :o(

Thanks Calibax. I had forgotten that it's also called Poverty Knock. This is the recording I was really looking for, which I've now been able to find:

I should add that the 19th century version I originally studied is so called (you probably know) because it was the noise made by the shuttles on the weaving machines going back and forth.
Glad you've found what you were looking for :o)
