Subject: Lyr Add: KEEP YOUR 'AND ON YOUR 'A'PENNY (Glasgow)
It's another Alex Glasgow one. Working from memory:
When Molly began to go courting, Her mother was anxious to tell He certain young fellas would want her To stray down the pathway to 'ell So Molly's old ma used to say:
Keep your 'and on your 'appenny, Cover it well with your palm Keep your 'and on your 'appenny, And Molly will come to no harm.
They'll hug you and kiss you so sweetly They make you feel ever so nice But 'andle the fellas discretely And follow this simple advice:
Keep your 'and ...
When Molly and I went out courting, I told her she'd nothing to fear But down in the covers last Sunday I whispered these words in her ear:
Take your 'and off your 'appenny Look into my bonny blue eyes Take your 'and off your 'appenny And I'll give you - a lovely surprise!
