Subject: Lyr Add: The Harrin's Heed^^
I just remembered another one "The Harrins Heed" translated it is the Herrings Head Oh what'll wi dee wi the harrins heed
Oh what'll wi dee wi the harrind heed We'll mak it inte loaves of breed, Harrins heed loaves of breed and all manner of things Of all the fish that's in the sea The harrin is the one for me How a ye the day, how a ye the day, how a ye the day Me hinny oh
It goes on with verses of Harrins guts a pair of beuits Harrins fins needles and pins Harrans tail a boat that sails Harrins eyes puddins and pies Harrins scales a barrel of ale Harrins belly a lass called Nellie
Perhapps Gareth or Graham Pirt could add any verses I have forgotten Cheers Bill
