GUEST,dracher ADD: The Baby's Name (Murphy/Hall) (76* d) RE: Lyr Req: Boer War song 22 Oct 07


I can't believe this. I was at a loose end, and decided to google a stupid group of words that had been swimming around in my brain since 1953, they were Kitchener, Carrington, Methuen, Kekewitch White.
Union Jack, Fighting Mac, with all the Bulgarian Blobbs.

My long dead Uncle Fred, who was in fact my Mother's uncle, from Yorkshire, used to bounce me on his knee and sing this song, (he obviously knew the real words) my baby brain had absorbed them as they appear here, and of course, I could never make sense of them prior to the advent of internet, and today's idle keying exercise. What a relief it is, thanks to all for doing the jigsaw that I am so delighted to have found.
