NOBBY HALL (as recorded by Simon Ritchie in Suffolk)
To save typing I'll edit the repeated lines, but you'll get the idea!

Well they called him Nobby Hall, Nobby Hall
Well they called him Nobby Hall, Nobby Hall
Well they called him Nobby Hall.
And he only had one arm
They called him Nobby Hall, Nobby Hall.

Well they said he killed a bloke, killed a bloke, etc...!
He did it for a laugh

So, they jailed poor Nobby Hall, Nobby Hall.
But his cell was rather dark.

And the Jailors name was Jock, name was Jock
And his keys hanged from his belt!

Well the Judge said you must pay. You must pay.
We'll hang you later on tomorrow.

Well the Preacher came at last, came at last.
He had his prayer book up his sleeve.

Well, they hung poor Nobby Hall, Nobby Hall,
By his one remaining arm!

And they buried him in a pit, In a pit.
They buried him in a pit, and they covered it with soil.
And thats the end of good old Nobby Hall!

Wonderful record.
