Thread Name: Lyr Req: Ballad of Bethnal Green (Paddy Roberts)
Subject: Ballad of Bethnal Green
Does anyone know of any verses to the above song. I have 3, the first, second and last. I know there is at least one more. The first verse goes "I tell a tale of a jealous male & a maid of sweet 16, She was blonde and dumb and lived with her mum.....Bethnal green. She worked all week for a rich old Greek for her Pa was on the dole, And her one delight was a Friday night when she had a little rock & Roll." Chorus(roughly) With my rit fa la, to me follo diddleda. etc. Please anyone help. Also Who wrote it?
