GUEST,TANNERS Origins/ADD: Mr. Nosey (6) RE: mr. nosey 23 Jan 07


Here are the other verses of the MR.NOSEY song as sung by Micko Russell.

          THIS WONDERFUL CHAP IS ABOUT NINE FOOT HIGH
          WITH A COMICAL SQUINT AND A MOUTH ALL AWRY
          THOUGH BRAWNY HIS ARMS,HIS LEGS ARE SO LIGHT
          THAT HE'D GIVE A SPRING AND JUMP CLEAR OUT OF SIGHT

          THIS CHAP WORE A HAT WHICH WAS MADE LIKE A BASIN
          WITH A RIM WIDE ENOUGH FOR A DONKEY TO RACE IN
          SUCH A DEUCE OF A FELLOW WAS HE TO TAKE SNUFF
          THAT A POUND AT A PINCH WAS HARDLY ENOUGH
         
          AT LAST CAME A SAILOR WITH COURAGE IN STORE
          AND SAID HE WOULD TACKLE THIS LONG SNOUTED BOAR
          BUT THE NOSE MADE HIM HOP LIKE A GRIM PANTALOON
          AND TOSSED HIM SO HIGH HE WENT BACK THROUGH THE MOON

          THE PEOPLE WERE ALL THEN GAZING IN FEAR
          WHEN THEY SAW THE POOR SAILOR HIS COURSE UPWARD STEER
            THEY TOOK TO THERE HEELS AND THEY MADE THEIR CLEAR
             FOR A BLOW FROM HIS NOSE WOULD MAKE THEM FEEL QUEER

             A GUARD FROM THE QUEEN AT LAST MADE A GAP
             THROUGH THE DOOR OF THE HOUSE OF THIS TERRIBLE CHAP
             THEY FOUND HIM IN BED JUST TAKINT A NAP
               WITH HIS NOSE ROUND HIS HEAD INSTEAD OF A CAP

             THEY CREEP UP ONE BY ONE ON THE FLOOR
             I THINK IN ALL THERE NEAR SIXTY SCORE
             THEY TRIED TO SECURE HIM BUT MARKED BY THE BOAR
             HE JUMPED THROUGH THE ROOF AND WAS NEVER SEEN MORE!




            I wonder what happened to the poor man and where did he end up? Anyway if there is anyone out there could enlighten me regarding the origin of this song I would be most grateful.
