Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Luddite Song From: belfast Date: 27 Aug 02 - 10:08 AM Thank you kindly for that reply and for that web. None of my own searches found that one. And in that web there was not single song I had ever before come across. Good stuff. I now suspect that the song I recall was specially written for the programme, although it had a traditional feel to it Anyway, thanks again. |

Subject: Luddite Song From: belfast Date: 26 Aug 02 - 08:36 AM While making a posting on another thread yesterday, about the song "The Shipyard Slips", I used the word "luddite" and the verse of a song popped into my head. I only heard it once, a very long time ago, on a BBC radio schools programme. Here are the words as I recall them: The good old days are gone, me boys, the good old days of pudding and beef For stealing a chicken, a cow or an ass would serve now to bring us to grief For kicking up Charlie or kissing a lass Or breaking up stocking-frames, iron or brass Would gain us a pretty hemp necklace alas In the days of General Lud. Come to think of it, I can't recall any other songs about luddites. But I'd be very surprised if they didn't exist |
