Thread Name: Lyr Req Lady Chatterley's Lover
Subject: Lyr Add: LADY CHATTERLEY (from Clancy Brothers)
Although they've changed the title and omitted the refrain, it's clearly the same song as LADY CHAT above.

LADY CHATTERLEY
Words by Jim McLean, music traditional "Take a Whiff on Me"
As recorded by The Clancy Brothers with Tommy Makem on "Live at Carnegie Hall" (1962)

1. You've heard of Lady Chatterley.
Sick and starved in love was she.
Oh, poor unwanted Lady Chatterley!

2. Good Sir Clifford was her man.
He got shot in the war and he couldn't stand.
Oh, no more fun for Lady Chatterley!

3. But she was always full of pluck,
Went out in the garden to try her luck.
Oh, the birds and the bees and Lady Chatterley!

4. Now, Mellors, the gardener, was a crook.
I'm sure he must have read the book.
Oh, ho, ho! Watch it, Lady Chatterley!

5. She knocked on his door with a rat-a-tat-tat.
'Come in,' says he, 'and we'll have a little chat.'
Oh, ho! You've had it, Lady Chatterley!

6. He took her into his cozy den.
You can read what they did, page a hundred and ten.
No more frustration, Lady Chatterley.
No more frustration, Lady Chatterley.
