I be 'glosster' born and bed (as was my father - although I bever heard HIM sing this ditty - unless asked to.

My 'shamefull' years were spent in Coventry (Warks)where I was familiar with THIS version:

We've cum oop from Zummerzet
We've cum oop from Warehum
Where all the girls wear Calico drawers
But we know how to tear'em.

'Toveee's (or 'Tuffee's) were Bristol folk descended from a famous Viking. Any still around?
