I found this on Spotify:


PEG LEG PETE
As recorded by Red Lester and his Stilton Stetsons on “Chalk and Cheese” (2014)

Peg-Leg Pete, he lost his feet due to gang-a-rene.
Now he don’t worry ‘bout toenails or the black pits in between.

Peg-Leg Pete, he’s got wooden feet; he’s got timber toes,
And he knocks out a solid beat ever’where he goes.

He won’t take cod liver oil ‘cause that don’t ease the pain;
Just a coat of creosote brushed into the grain.

Peg-Leg Pete, now he don’t need a chiropodist
If it’s certain the tree surgeon can cut out the rotten bits.

Peg-Leg Pete, he’s so discreet, you’d hardly notice him
If it wasn’t for the clomping of his old prosthetic limb.

He won’t take cod liver oil ‘cause that don’t ease the pain;
Just a coat of creosote brushed into the grain.

Peg-Leg Pete, he’s got wooden feet; he’s got timber toes,
And he knocks out a solid beat ever’where he goes.
