Thread Name: Lyr Req: Wise Old Pike of Bure / Buir
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Wise Old Pike of Buir
I've been able to find the first verse. If anyone knows any more verses, please post them. Notice I was wrong in thinking it was Buir, it's actually Bure.

As I went down the Icknield Way
To see the Wise Old Pike of Bure
And see if what he had to say
Would all my woes and worries cure
Woes and worries and the life and the like
Woes and worries and the like

With an I don’t know and a don’t ask me
And a who can tell and a wait and see
That wise old pike he answered me.
