Thread Name: Lyr Add: Oh, Jemima, Look at Your Uncle Jim...
Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Oh Jemima
Thanks for your efforts Frogmore,Bob,Sooz, and GUEST (whoever you are).Frogmore's mum's version sounds familiar, but not the words that I remember.The Lancastrian connection sounds interesting as Dad was born in Barrow-in-Furness which used to be in Lancashire. Following GUEST's hint I've tried a SuperSearch for words and title but the only promising bit of info I came across was that Cosmotheka used to sing a song called "Jemima",which (if it is the same song) would confirm the music-hall origin.
Now does anybody remember the words for "Oh,Mr Porter" - another of my dad's songs which I can't find on the DT?
Sorry,should that be a new thread?
Best wishes,Matthew.
