Thread Name: Lyr Req: Tavistock Goosey Fair (C. John Trythall)
Subject: RE: Tavistock Goosey Fair
This is a west country song, not a geordie one. A mate of mine used to sing it twenty years ago, and the west country words and accent used in it are superb. I can't remember much of it, but it had lines like "Uz did 'ave a zing-zong" , and is basically about going to Tavistock in Devon to the fair and having a good time, and getting so confused that they didn't know "whether uz was in 'annerford bog or Tavistock Goosey Fair".
