GUEST | Folklore: Where did the 'Cockie.' (22) | RE: Folklore: Where did the 'Cockie.' | 26 Jun 16 |
I heard the ditty "There once was a cocky watchman as a child in Liverpool in the 1940's. It was one that my grandmother had heard in Victorian Liverpool. I can only remember fragments e.g. "There once was a cocky watchman'''''''she cocked up the window and cocked out her arse." It seemed to have a lot in common with a tale written by Chaucer. Not that I realised that as a child. Hopefully someone will be able to recall the whole thing - and tell us |
