GUEST,bee.sting Aunty Mary Had a Canary - where? (100* d) RE: Aunty Mary Had a Canary - where? 10 Jan 12


I haven't been all through this thread, so I am not 100% certain I am adding anything original, but the variant I was taught by my Grandad in Lancashire in the late 1960's is as follows:

I went into the barber's shop
and what do you think I got?
Two black eyes and a bleeding nose
and a little bit off the top

Chase me Charlie, chase me Charlie,
Lost the leg o' me draws
Weary willie, weary Willie
Will you lend me yours.

Sorry - not a canary in sight - but it was to the tune Cock o' the North
