Thread Name: Lyr Req: The Lum Hat Wantin' the Croon
Subject: RE: A lum hat wantin' a croon
Sorry--verse 6 lost a line-- should go like this:

There's a man overboard, cried he.
Ye leear, quo she, I'll droon!
A man on a board? It's a wife on a gate,
It's auld Mistress Mackintosh here wi a skate
An a lum hat wantin the croon.

The vocabulary is pretty think with the north-east dialect--if you have any questions, ask.
Cheers Murray
