Subject: RE: Lyr Req: The Bovril's With The Gravy the Marm
Fresh from Fylde Folk Festival in Fleetwood - that's a lot of F's.

This is a nice welcome home thread. I haven't got a sound file of the tune, but I'll try and get round to it.

But I'd love to hear Frank Harte sing it - I sang it into his tape recorder a couple of years ago at the National Folk Festival in the bar.

I wish I could work out why it's funny. Hundreds of songs I've written, I imagine, and that's the one that hits the spot. I like to think it's the underlying theodicy of the text...
