Subject: Lyr Req: British talking blues: cowboy in London From: Steve Parkes Date: 04 Nov 03 - 10:00 AM Any offers on this? It used to be sunbg by Mike James in Walsall in the 60s/70s. Bits I can remember ... Blowin' down that old M1 Doin' 'bout a hundred and twenty-one, I seen a sign said "London Town" -- Guess I'd better slow right down ... Give ma old hoss a rest! [...] Ridin' down your old Pall-Mall, I seen a cowboy dressed real swell: Bright blue coat, shiny hat, Big black boots with shiny spats; I said "Howdy fella!" as I rode by -- Never even made a reply ... Musta' been the Bad Guy! [...] Well, some's got flu, some's got tet'nus, Some's got pure racial prejudice. Take this feller Enoch Powell: He can't tell the diff'rence 'tween a spade an a trowel ... Ain't never gonna get the garden dug that way! No idea who wrote it, or anything else. Steve |
