Thanks to Nutty, here is the Lancashire set referred to earlier. I've regularised the spelling of the title because nobody would ever think to search for gooise, but have retained Hamer's spelling (an accurate reflection of the pronounciation) in the text.


THE GREY GOOSE AND GANDER


The grey gooise and gander went over yonder hill
The grey gooise went barefoot for flaid o' being seen
For flaid o' being seen, my boys, by the light of the moon
Rise early tomorrow morning all in the same tune

The blacksmith is black, but his money is white
He sits in the alehouse from morning till night
From morning till night, my boys, by the light of the moon
Rise early tomorrow morning all in the same tune

The landlord gets drunk and his reckoning forgot,
So they pulled down his signpost and broke all his pots
They broke all his pots, my boys, by the light of the moon
Rise early tomorrow morning all in the same tune

The gentlemen took the ladies their hounds for to view
The gentlemen to the ladies said, "How do you do",
Said, "How do you do", my boys, by the light of the moon
Rise early tomorrow morning all in the same tune
