Thread Name: Lyr Req: For forty years I've been buggered
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: For forty years I've been buggered
Shantyjohn It's a song around this area, recorded some time in the early 1970s from an elderly local man, now long dead, who had a couple of similar ones, including The Farting Competition. The little I remember begins: This forty-five years I've been buggered, With all kinds of horrible pains, ------- From rupture to varicose veins
And ends: My life it is spent in the shite-house, Or roaring and groaning in bed, And my friends say, when quietly passing, It's time that that poor whore was dead.
Will sort out my recording of it and put up a transcription of the text - when I get time. Jim Carroll
