ERNIE DUNN
Author Unknown

When Ernie Dunn were still alive
Folks said ‘e weren’t no good
But nah ‘e's dead they’ve changed their tune
‘E's called “misunderstood”

But Ernie Dunn can ‘ear ‘em not
‘E's climbed the golden stair
#At length ‘e come to t’ gowden gate
And thunders “open there!”

“What doest tha want” Saint Peter said
“Why doest tha make that din?”
“I’m Ernie Dunn, owd Joe Dunn's son,
Tha'd better let me in!”

Saint Peter shook ‘is ‘oary ‘ead
And turned, as if to go
“No Dunn can enter ‘ere owd son,
Thee ‘op it dahn below!”

“’Ang on owd chap” says Ernie Dunn
“Thy face is nice and kind,
Thee take a look in t’ gowden book
Perhaps tha’ll changed thy mind “

“Well, just to please thee”, Peter says
“I’ll go and look in t’ book,
But going by what I’ve heard of thee,
I think tha’s out of luck”

So Peter went to look in t’ book,
He thowt owd Dunn’d wait
When he come back owd Dunn’d gone
And so ‘ad t’ gowden gate
