Thread Name: Norf and Sarf - cockney songs
Subject: RE: Norf and Sarf - cockney songs
Great to see the words of these old songs again. I remember seeing John Foreman perform them at Maidenhead Folk Club in the 60s. A few years later as a young journalist on a training session I was astonished to bump into him again at the London College of Printing (I think), somewhere near St Bride's, where he was teaching. A scholar and a gent. I've been waiting ever since to see the full words of 'one leg up and one leg down', which I've always remembered. I think he also did "I can't get my winkle out' but I may be wrong.
