Thread Name: Origins: Barnsley Anthem
Subject: RE: Origins: Barnsley Anthem
I was born in Barnsley in 1944. I remember my mother singing the first few lines of this 'anthem' but the words seem to differ a little from those previously quoted. Her version was:-

We're way down in t'cellar oyle
Where t'muck slarts on t'winders
We ain't got no coyle so we're nah burnin' cinders...

I can still remember the tune but I can't write music notes.

If anyone wants me to sing her tune, give me a ring. 01904 728754. At your own risk.
