Years ago a friend of my family sang a song he called "Old Farmer Bunn". He sang it in a heavy accent, Yorkshire I think.
He could only remember one and one-half verses which went as follows:
"Old Farmer Bunn, he got 'im a gun And 'ee looked down the barrel For to see how t'were done, On the very first try, 'ee got it in the eye, And he never 'ad time fer to say, 'Bye-bye."
(Chorus) Why do 'ee go fer to ack thicky way? Becuzz 'ee were a vool (fool) And a gurt (great) big vool, Becuzz 'ee were a vool As us ah (all) do say.
Old Farmer Bunn 'ee got him a dook (duck) And 'ee cut off 'er feet Cuz 'er stook (stuck) in the mook(muck).... "
That's all I ever heard. Does anybody know anything about this song? Is it from Yorkshire? Does anybody know any further adventures of the farmer?
