GUEST,Carole virtue Lyr Req/Add: Little Mr Baggy Britches (46) RE: Lyr Req/Add: Little Mr Baggy Britches 08 Jul 14


I was born in 1941 and I seem to have known this forever...lol. Not that the memory is so good now. I also did a clog style of dance to it . My recollection is very similar to the others I have just read.


Little Mr. Baggy britches, I Love you.
If you'll be my Sunday fella,
I'll patch em with purple, with pink and with yellow
And folks will say , as they lean on the old sea wall,
Lena's been patching for Jacob till he's got not britches at all.

CHORUS...ah yah yah,patches big, patches small.
                   Ah yah yaha, till he's got no britches at all.

Travellers who come by the mighty sea wall
Thar keeps back the gret Zyder Dee can see,
Ah me! Such wonderful Dutch scenery.
It's Jaobs britches that they can see,
Ah me! Such wonderful Dutch scenery.
