Subject: RE: Martin said to his man
There are quite a few morris side verses:
I saw the Squire buy a round - Fie Man, Fie,
I saw the Squire buy a round - Who's the fool now,
I saw the Squire buy a round - Saw the Bagman turn one down,
Thou hast well drunken man - who's the fool now.
I saw ***** dance a jig - Fie Man, Fie,
I saw ***** dance a jig - Who's the fool now,
I saw ***** dance a jig - He looked just like a drunken pig,
Thou hast well drunken man - who's the fool now.
and for the ladies:
I saw a lass dance Shepherd's Hey - Fie Man, Fie,
I saw a lass dance Shepherd's Hey - Who's the fool now,
I saw a lass dance Shepherd's Hey - Halfway through her bra gave way,
Thou hast well drunken man - who's the fool now.
And of course you could even have one for a famous notorious catter:
I saw old Spaw hold his wind - Fie Man, Fie,
I saw old Spaw hold his wind - Who's the fool now,
I saw old Spaw hold his wind - When he let it out, God how he grinned,
Thou hast well drunken man - who's the fool now.
