MCFAT asked me to play around - no comments - with the lyrics you had posted so this is a version of the

Rape of Milnsbridge
MCfat/ Geoff The Duck/R&W Rabbit

Oh cruel is the thread that prounounced me dead
and made me to play the banjo.......
and cruel was the player that caused me to sway oh
and made me to play on the banjo..

To keep lifeboats afloat they came far inland,
To raise money this was what Raggy had planned
He wined them and dined them then McDonald did stand
And started to play on the Banjo

Large was the crowd as he played it out loud.
He played it as fast as he could go!
Five were the strings, and now he has wings.
Because they strung him up with the banjo

He arrived at the session with soup in a tin
"The Campbell's is coming" he said with a grin
Then somebody threw a tomato at him....
But that was the fate of MacDonald!

He went to the pub, and found the Socialist Club,
He fished out his very large banjo.
The audience, mate, didn't appreciate -
attacked him with a very large mango

He went to the session with banjo in hand.
He played it all night, and he thought it was grand.
But the night didn't turn out the way he had planned,
'Twas the night that they murdered MacDonald!

He knew he'd been cursed
Thought it couldn't get worse
When they caught him playing on the banjo
But he got it all wrong
For in the very next song
They made him to play on the bodhran

Some died in their beds at the hand of this foe
Some fled in the night and were lost in the snow
Some lived to accuse him who struck the first blow
Yes the Bodhran's now played by MacDonald

Oh cruel is the thread that prounounced me dead
and made me to play the banjo.......
and cruel was the player that caused me to sway oh
and made me to play on the banjo
