Subject: Lyr Add: THE BODDAM MONKEY
Here's a version I cut out of an Aberdeen newspaper over 30 years ago.
Attributio was given to an anonymous bluemogganer.(resident of Peterhead). Quelle surprise!

THE BODDAM MONKEY

Eence a ship sailed roond the coast
An' a' the men in her were lost
Barran' a monkey up a post
An' the Boddamers hanged the monkey-o!

Noo the funeral was a grand affair
A' the Boddam folk were there
It mind't ye on the Glesga Fair
Fin the Boddamers hanged the monkey-o!

Noo a' the folk fae Peterheid
Cam' oot expecting t' get a feed
So they made it int' potted heid
Fin the Boddamers hanged the monkey-o!

chorus.

Durra ma doo, ma doo-a-day
Durra ma doo ma daddy-o
Durra ma doo, ma doo-a-day
The Boddamers hanged the monkey, o!
