Thread Name: Naughty kids' greatest hits II
Subject: RE: Naughty kids' greatest hits II
I was searching for two songs that my father and gran(dmother) sang.

The first was and adaptation of "Men Of Harlech", which mentioned "shooting peas up the nanny goat's doorway..." which Bert very kindly mentions (I'm 54 and my dad died in 1988, gran in 1986).

The second song was another adaptation, this time of "The Girl I left Behind Me", which my gran used to sing:

"Oh the black cat pee'd in the white cat's eye,
And the white cat said cor blimey.
And the black cat said it's your own bloody fault,
You shouldn't have stood behind me."

I would be grateful or any information that anyone can provide relating to these two songs.

Many thanks,
Fred
