In wish people would stop getting me going!
Fine Old Yorkshire Gentleman, popularised by Bill Price from Dewsbury, Bill died must be 20 years ago now, he played a nice concertina for accompaniment on this. I am looking for the original and feel that he probably reworked an existing song, Mike Waterson has something on similar lines.
Bill's has a lot of this silly old bu**er in many verses, and he used to recounted when he was asked to perform, I think on Radio Leeds if he could drop the offending word ~ not sure what the outcome was, but the air was probably blue!
His two daughters Sadie and Ruth Price are now singing his songs and others, check Ruth's web site ~ FOYG sung by Sadie to Ruth's accompaniment at Holmfirth FF this year, Ruths 'Simon John' at Tap & Spile at New Year brilliant ~ deserve booking world wide [Ruth born in Canada]I didn't know that, Wendy still in Whitby (sometimes)
