[Casey]

When I was a boy me mam left home

I was 5 years old and left to roam

me daddy was a thief, never in the house

lived in the town, brought up on scouse.

[Alan Stubbs]

When I was a boy me mam left home

I was 5 years old and left to roam

me daddy was a thief, never in the house

lived in the town, brought up on scouse.

 

 

I can tell you from the last two lines that it ISN'T Liverpool Lullaby (OMG!!!!!!!! I've just associated this forum with Cilla Black - apologies all round!), but I haven't a clue!

[Casey]

I just made it up Al when I saw this thread.

 

I suppose I'll be berated until I'm brown bread.

[peterpikefisher]

heres one i dont think anyone will get

 

 

 

 

well we got a big welcome when we drove in

to the gates of place they call long bhin

we checked in and everthing got kind of quite

but a soilder boy said wait till tonight things get noisey

things start happining big bad fire crackers

well that night we did about 4 shows for the boys

they were living it up with a whole lot of noise

..

Looks like you're right!

Johnny Cash - Vietnam Talkin' Blues

 

I heard it at my neighbour's last night. Total coincidence. It won't ever be a favourite song, though.

 

What about:

 

"My young love said to me, "My mother won't mind

And my father won't slight you for your lack of kind"

And she stepped away from me and this she did say:

It will not be long, love, till our wedding day" "

 

 

For those of you who know me... this is Bernadette's party piece.

[Tony U]

"As she moved through the Fair"

Sung by just about everyone how about Angie from the Gundulfs, or The Chieftans.

 

 

 

PS Can I do one?

PS Can I do one?

 

 

Be disappointed if you didn't, Tony!

[Tony U]

Alright then what about this:

 

Wor Nanny an' me myed up wor minds te gan an' catch the train,

'Te gan te the toon te buy some claes for wor little Billy and Jane:

But when we got to Rowland's Gill the mornin' train wes gyen,

An thor wasn't another one gan' that way till siventeen minutes te one

So aa ses te wor Nan its a lang way te gan an

Aa saa biv hor feyce she wes vext;

But aa ses nivvor mind we heh plenty o'time, we'll

stop an' we'll gan on wi' the next.

She gove a bit smile an wen Aa spok up an ses, ther's a

pubbilick hoose along heor,

We'll gan along there and git worsels warm an' a glass

o' the best bittor beer.

But Nan wes se stoot Aa knew she'd not waak an she

didn't seem willin' te try.

Wen a tink o'the trubble Aa'd wiv hor that day,

Aa's like te borst oot an' cry.

Can we have a translation, please Tony?

 

I've always wondered what the hell the song meant!

 

I could always retaliate with a verse of either Latin or Finnish! - Yes, I've sung in both languages. Instead, see how many people have long memories!

 

There's a famous seaside place called Blackpool

That's noted for fresh air and fun

And Mr. and Mrs. Ramsbottom

Went there with young Albert, their son.

A fine little lad were young Albert,

All dressed in his best, quite a swell.

He'd a stick with an 'orse's 'ead 'andle;

The finest that Woolworth's could sell.

They didn't think much to the ocean,

The waves they were piddlin' and small.

There were no wrecks and nobody drownded,

'Fact, nothin' to laugh at at all!
