Thread Name: Lyr Req: The Oyster Girl
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: The Oyster Girl
I sing Phil Tanner's version ~ last verse from Joe Offer seems to be an amalgam of different songs
ts I have travelled England, Scotland, and France, And never in my life did I meet with such a dance, The English girl has tricked the Frenchman at last, And left him with her basket of Oysters.
* Donkey driver * Tailor's britchers
Landlord oh Landlord or landlord says he have you seen the little Oyster girl who came along with me? Yes!! and she's paid me your reckoning sir so youmay go free, so its HOOK it with yer basket of Oyster
However it could be that this is not the song sought after
