So Graham, here we go again, just transcribed from your CD. If you email I'll send you the .mp3 of the recording.
Guy, Guy, Guy
Stick him up on high
Stick him on a lamp post
And there let him die
A halfpenny poke to feed the bloke
A pennorth of cheese for him that choke
A pint of beer to wash his sins
And a good old fire to roast him in
Guy, guy, guy
Stick him up on high
Stick him on a lamp post
And there let him die
Holler boys, holler boys
God save the King
Holler boys, holler boys
God save the King
Well we'll burn his body and burn his head
And then we'll say Guy Fawkes is dead
They say he had a hearty try
To blow Westminster Hall sky high
Guy, guy, guy
Stick him up on high
Stick him on a lamp post
And there let him die
Holler boys, holler boys
God save the King
Holler boys, holler boys
God save the King
As I was marching across some fields
I met an old man all back on his heels
I asked him if he could fight
His face and beard as black as night
Guy, guy, guy
Stick him up on high
Stick him on a lamp post
And there let him die
Holler boys, holler boys
God save the King
Holler boys, holler boys
God save the King
Now give the old guy a penny
For you know he ain't got many
If you ain't got a penny a halfpenny will do
If you ain't got a halfpenny God bless you
Guy, guy, guy
Stick him up on high
Stick him on a lamp post
And there let him die
Holler boys, holler boys
God save the King
Holler boys, holler boys
God save the King
