Jack Horntip Origins: Coming Home from the Wake/Nellie Milkmaid (69* d) RE: Origins: Coming Home from the Wake/Nellie Milkmaid 13 Jan 23


From Rugby Songs Volume 2, LP. [n.d, ca 1965] By SportsDisc Records:
Roger of Kildare

Oh, mother, mother dear, may I go to the fair?
May I go to the fair with young Roger of Kildare
For I know he's kind and gentle and he'll love me for my sake.
And I know he will not harm me coming home from the lake.

Yes daughter, daughter dear, you may go to the fair.
You may go with Sir Roger, Sir Roger of Kildare
For I know he's kind and gentle and he'll love you for you sake.
And I know he will not harm you coming home from the lake.

So she went with Sir Roger, she went to the fair
She went with Sir Roger, Sir Roger of Kildare
And he stuffed her up with ice-cream and he stuff her up with cake
He stuffed it right up her coming home from the lake.

So all you pretty maidens beware oh beware
Beware of Sir Roger, Sir Roger of Kildare
For although he's kind and gentle and he'll love you for your sake
Just keep your legs together coming home from the lake.
