I am reminded of an Oldham Tinkers song one verse of which reads

Well then entered big lord mayor
o'er his shoulder he'd a club
he first pushed into a long white shirt
an' then he took topmost tub
he preached 'bout good folk goin' to 'eaven
an' bad folks goin' to 'ell
I said sit thee down thee silly owd bugger
tha's ne'er bin there thee self.
