Thread Name: Lyr Req Lady Chatterley's Lover
Subject: Lyr Add: LADY CHAT (Jim McLean)
I wrote the song mentioned by Jim I and it was recorded by Matt McGinn. The Clancy Brothers published it by Tiparm Music>
The tune was a variant of ' Have a whiff, have a whiff have a whiff on me'. I slowed the tune right down and tried to make it ironic!
The lyrics are as follows (as far as I can remember as it was a long time ago.

LADY CHAT
(Jim McLean)

Have you heard of Lady Chatterley
Sick and starved o' love was she,
Hey, hey poor wee lady Chat.

Good Sir Clifford was her man,
He got shot in the war and he couldnae stand,
Hey, hey sad wee lady Chat.

But lady Chat was full of pluck,
She went down to the garden to try her luck,
Hey, hey brave wee Lady Chat.

Gamekeeper Mellors was a crook,
Ah doot that he has read the book,
Hey hey watch out Lady Chat.

She came to his door with a rat a tat tat
'Come in,' says he, 'And we'll have a wee chat!'
Hey, hey you've had it Lady Chat.

He took her into his but and' ben,
You can read what he did on page a hundred and ten!
Hey, hey happy lady Chat.

So to all you Lords, this moral I'll tell,
If you've got a garden, then dig it yoursel'
Hey, hey and that was the end o' that.
