Thread Name: Lyr ADD: Be I Berkshire? Be I Buggery!
Subject: RE: Does anyone know this song? - Be I Bekshire
My dad has always sung this as "Be I Berkshire...... comes up from Fareham". So that's the county/town version I know.
He also has the rather sweet verse "Be I Berkshire? Be I buggery! I do come from Fareham, my old wife's got fifteen kids and she knows how to rear (rhymes with rare) 'em".
I think I prefer the more ribald versions though........
