Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Poor Little Angeline (rugby song)
Incredibly, I've listened a few more times.
I now believe the last stanza they're singing goes like this:
What a pretty scene on the village green,
Whe-e-re the prince was wed to Angeleen!
Now she’s a princess, she's a bloody mess.
P-o-o-r little Angelyne!
I must say that what I've written as "Angeleen" sounds a lot more like a nonsensical "andoreen," but I can't imagine what else would fit.
Possibly, "he" is the "bloody mess" at the end.
But hey, it's a folk song. It even switches from "Angeleen" to "Angelyne."
