beetle cat BS: folk trousers (47) RE: BS: folk trousers 18 Nov 04


Old Leather Breeches; shaggy, shaggy locks
Old Leather Breeches; shaggy, shaggy locks
With your old leather Breeches and your shaggy shaggy locks
You are pulling down the pillars of the world, George Fox!!!!!

... "'The man with the leather breeches is come', it was said of Fox."

- From the antagonistic chorus of that old Sydney Carter song. Quote of Carter, as well.


then there is...
a rather obscure verse of All For Me Grog;

I've got me breeches, me nobby, nobby breeches
I've got breeches a-seen a lot of rough weather
For the pouch is near wore out and the seat's all flying about
And me knees are looking out for better weather


so, old nobby leather breeches it is.
