Had a night away in Lancashire* with our friends Pea and Lynn.
He was raving about the folk songs he had.
Lancashire ones.
Lancashire accents and stuff.

Now me
(ending a sentence with "me" is typical me and Lancashire)
Now me - I like hip hop, my favourite music.
But I love this old stuff - it is OK folk music.

Here it is playing on my piPhone above.


OLD JOHNNY BUGGER

Old Johnny Bugger he lived by himself
As long as he had perfect health.
Then one day he took a wife
To care for him for the rest of his life.

Chorus:
Singing: I do believe, I will believe,
Old Johnny Bugger was a gay old bugger,
And a gay old bugger was he.

Now old Mrs Bugger she had a bad leg,
The doctor ordered her to bed,
Called Johnny in and he says to him,
'You'll Dave to rub your wife's left leg with gin.'

Now old Johnny Bugger thought 'twere a sin,
To rub his wife's left leg with gin.
So he pulled out the stopper
And poured it down his throttle,
Rubbed his wife's left leg with the bottle!

God made bees and bees made honey.
God made man and man made money.
Money made the Devil and the Devil made sin.
We shall have to dig a pit
For to put the bugger in.

Old Johnny Bugger went walking one day.
Down by the river he happened to stray.
Johnny fell in and he started to shout;
There was no bugger there
For to pull the bugger out.

Johnny he died and he went to heaven.
He got there about half past eleven.
St. Peter met him at the gate,
And said 'Johnny Bugger
You're too b... late!'



Eeeeeh, ya boooger !!
