Subject: Lyr Add: A MINEHEAD LAD (Tom & Barbara Brown) From: doc.tom Date: 15 Dec 18 - 12:03 PM You only have to ask! A MINEHEAD LAD - (WW1 panel: 6) When I was a lad I worked with me dad Down on the Minehead Quay We’d shoot a line at the herring time For fishing was our game And me mates and I would look and sigh At the posh folk on a spree We’d watch them - Taking a trip on a Campbell steamer Out on the Severn Sea All the ladies with the feathered hats, Twirling their parasols And the gents in their suits with their polished boots Would promenade round the town At the Beach Hotel if you looked right well The better-most you could see And they’d be – Taking a trip on a Campbell steamer Out on the Severn Sea Now fishing times got very bad, And herring none at all. And three in hand doesn’t make a cran And your boat is in the yard So came the day when I did say The fishing’s not for me So I’ll be - Taking a trip on a Campbell steamer Out on the Severn Sea I signed on board of a paddle steamer Down from Bristol Town Bottom of the crew for a year or two Until I made the grade But the Germans came and spoiled our game White Funnels turned to grey Still I’ll be - Taking a trip on a Campbell steamer Out on the Severn Sea We cruised the coast of Old England Minesweeping was our trade From sound to sound we paddled round To keep the seaways clear When the war was done it’s home I’ve come To the place where I would be So no more - Taking a trip on a Campbell steamer Out on the Severn Sea Words: Tom Brown. Tune: Barbara Brown Written for panel 6 (WW1) of the Minehead Harbour Project 2014 Recorded on CD Just Another Day - Wild Goose Records WGS406CD |
