This song will explain. SHE'S A PROPER FOLKIE NOW Tune: The Devil's Nine Questions (traditional) New words: Steve Suffet © 2005, 2010 Come and listen to my tale, Oh, she's a proper folkie now! And pour a tankard of warm ale. Oh, she's a proper folkie now! Laura was a maiden gay, Oh, she's a proper folkie now! Until a folkie led her astray. Oh, she's a proper folkie now! He plucked her flower from the stem, Oh, she's a proper folkie now! And turned her into one of them. Oh, she's a proper folkie now! Now she drinks dark porter beer, Oh, she's a proper folkie now! And sticks her finger in her ear. Oh, she's a proper folkie now! Before she utters just one note, Oh, she's a proper folkie now! Seven times she clears her throat. Oh, she's a proper folkie now! She sings no jazz, nor pop, nor soul, Oh, she's a proper folkie now! And never any rock and roll. Oh, she's a proper folkie now! But only ballads, ancient rhymes, Oh, she's a proper folkie now! Handed down from distant times. Oh, she's a proper folkie now! Like the story of Lord Arnold's wife, Oh, she's a proper folkie now! And the bloody way she lost her life. Oh, she's a proper folkie now! Matty Groves she took to bed, Oh, she's a proper folkie now! By morning's light both were dead. Oh, she's a proper folkie now! Yes, those are the songs that Laura sings, Oh, she's a proper folkie now! No hardcore rap, no nasty things, Oh, she's a proper folkie now! Like all the young kids sing today, Oh, she's a proper folkie now! Just gory songs from a bygone day. Oh, she's a proper folkie now! So maidens all take warning from me, Oh, she's a proper folkie now! And shun the folkie's comapny, Oh, she's a proper folkie now! Or just like our Laura dear, Oh, she's a proper folkie now! You'll stick your finger in your ear! Oh, she's a proper folkie now! --- Steve
