She took him in her own white hand,
And led him to the table,
Here's cakes and wine for you my love,
Eat and drink while you are able.

The song of love is a sad song,
Hi Lilli, Hi Lilli , Hi lo
The song of love is a song of woe,
Don't ask me how I know,
The song of love is a sad song, for I have loved and I know.
I sit by the window and watch the rain,
Hi Lilli, Hi Lilli Hi lo,
Tomorrow I'll probably love again,
Hi Lilli, Hi Lilli Hi lo

As he rode over Salisbury plain,
He met Lord Judge with all his train:
Then hero-like he did approach,
And robbed the Judge as he sat in his coach.
O rare Turpin, hero,
O rare Turpin, O.

As I was a-walking on Salisbury Plain
I heard such a fuss and to-do
For the lassies were crying and tearing their hair
For the rout had just come for the Blues
The rout had just come for the Blues.

The Shepherd's Wife's song

Thus with his wife he spends the year, as blithe
As doth the king, at every tide or sithe--
    And blither too,
For kings have wars and broils to take in hand,
Where shepherds laugh and love upon the land.
    Ah then, ah then,
If country loves such sweet desires gain,
What lady would not love a shepherd swain?

Holmfirth Anthem

1. Abroad for pleasure as I was a-walking
On one summer summer's evening clear (repeat 1st 2 lines)
There I beheld a most beautiful damsel
Lamenting for her shepherd swain (bis)

2. The fairest evening that e'er I beheld thee
Evermore with the lad I adore
Wilt thou go fight the French and Spaniards
Wilt thou leave me thus my dear?

3. No more to yon green banks will I take thee
With pleasure for to rest myself and view the lambs
But I will take thee to yon green gardens
Where the pretty flowers grow

Roam?
Rome?

Off one night one a toot with Brutus,
He got pickled as a Roman neutue,
Woke next morning, feeling solemn,
Couldn't see the end of his Roman column...

I'm glad, glad, very, very glad,
I'm glad I'm a gladiator.
Ancient Rome, that's me home,
Fried fish and chips by the old hippadrome.
I'm glad, glad, very, very glad,
From me helmet to me toes.
My old dad was a Roman glad, and he left me his Roman nose.

Next?

Made haste to comb her hair

On her lap was a silver comb

To a big black dog to bite
But she held him tight, she feared him not
He did not hear a fright, a fright

And cabbage and bacon were lawfully taken,
The night that O'Rafferty's pig ran away.

BILE DEM CABBAGE DOWN

Subject: RE: Song Chain
From: John MacKenzie

THE NIGHT THAT O'RAFFERTY'S PIG RAN AWAY.

O'Rafferty's pig was a wonderful animal,
Built like a battleship solid and stout,
His ignorance it would have disgraced any cannibal,
Impudence written all over his snout.
The night he got loose there was such a commotion,
That women were screaming and men turned pale,
They were running and jumping, colliding and bumping,
And everyone making a grab at his tail.

Then Mickey Malone the heavyweight champion,
Ran at the pig wit a big rolling pin,
He struck it a blow but caught Mrs.Mulroe,
Her bustle was shifted up under her chin.
Widow Malone fell through a shop window,
In pickles and jam and red herrings she lay,
She had salmon and skippers all over he knickers,
The night that O'Rafferty's pig ran away.

It ran into the police court and looked at each prisoner,
It swallowed the bible, said the judge infra dig,
And because of your actions I'll postpone the case
But the local solicitor said they must all try the pig.
The pig looked at Reilly the principle witness,
Then ran into the grocers next door to McCanns,
He rolled in the butter, then dashed in the gutter,
And that's how he kept slipping right out of their hands.

Fat Mrs. Doyle she ran like an elephant,
Puffing and blowing with Mrs.Maguire,
She fell on the ground and begorra the sound,
Was just like the burst of a pneumatic tyre.
Flanagan he then got the pig in a corner,
He jumped on his back and ran into a drain,
At twenty to seven his home was in heaven,
The night that O'Rafferty's pig ran away.

A bloodthirsty crowd led by old Denis Cassidy,
Chased it with vengeance from Derry to Cork,
And didn't he swear when the pig with audacity,
Jumped on a tram while he had to walk.
It ran through the legs of old Councillor Duffy,
A man of great standing and lofty ideas,
When they collided old Duffy backslided,
And down went the standing of twenty-five years.

Burke's wooden leg it was broken and shattered,
Her lay on his back shouting for Doctor Lamont,
Barney O'Toole says don't be a fool,
It's a hammer and saw and a joiner you want.
Then came the news that the pig had been captured,
The town had a thanksgiving supper they say,
And cabbage and bacon were lawfully taken,
The night that O'Rafferty's pig ran away.

By the old tavern door on the causey there lay
A hogshead of stingo just rolled from a dray,
And there stood the blacksmith awaiting a drop
As dry as the cinders that lay in his shop;

Don't know where you can find all the lyrics, but there's this, which ties into "derby:"

Where did you get that hat?
Where did you get that tile?
Isn't it the knobby one,
In just the proper style.
I should like to have one,
Just the same as that.
Where'ere I go, they shout, "Hello!
Where did you get that hat?"

From Bob Carlin's singing. I don't know that I ever got all the words, but think I must have. However, I can't access my home PC from work, so...
