Subject: RE: Lyr Req: One fine day a man went to mow a meadow
In the mid 1950s, we used to sing at cubs/scouts in South Bristol (UK):

...One man and his dog, Spot,
Bottle of pop,
Old tin can and a frying pan,
Sausage roll, stick it up your all (hole?)
Ashton Gate and a 10 pound weight (wait?)
Old Harry Dolman had a cow
Went to mow a meadow.

Harry Dolman was a longtime chairman of Bristol City Football Club, whose home ground was/is Ashton Gate.
Don't know the relevence of the "10 pound weight" or "wait". Never saw the words written down, but just learned it by ear, hence the possible alternative words.
