Twas all fair to me
As I climbed o'er the wall
With me hands an me buckeh
And heart fulla gall
Mind yerself now
I heard me Ma call
And don't rip yer trousers
Climbing dat wall
Mind yerself son
Mind the long fall
As I dropped meself down
O'er McHenry's back wall
With me hands fulla slack
And me face like a sweep
I gathered huge lumps
All mine te keep
Not for the neighbours
Nor for te sell
For a big roarin fire
Just like Nick's down in hellLast edited by DAMNTHEWEATHER; 23-07-2013, 09:54 PM.We'll sail be the tide....aarghhhh !!

i bet you claimed fame
i know all the oulwans there
knew you by name
when the turf from the docket
had long long ran out
where's that ''damn'' robber
the oulwans would shout
get me some big bits
and don't you come back
with a bag of turf mould
and some, wet bloody slack
and they knew all about
the ''dub'' grannies great friend
the scourge of mc henry's
''that damn weather'' will endHere Rex!!!...Here Rex!!!.....Wuff!!!....... Wuff!!!
