Subject: Lyr Req: Down by the bogs From: scrimnet Date: 15 May 06 - 08:05 PM When I was young(er) I used to sing a song with the Scouts, called I think, "Down by the bogs". The only bits I can remember are... Down by the bogs Where the bog grass grows He wanted to go Down by the bogs Which I think was the chorus and then the last verse (I think!) They buried him in hob nailed boots hob nailed boots, hob nailed boots They buried him in hob nailed boots Down by the bogs I would be much obliged of help with this one! |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Down by the bogs From: Q (Frank Staplin) Date: 15 May 06 - 09:44 PM Could it be a semi-clean version of "In Mobile"? In the bogs there is no paper in Mobile? etc. See www.immortalia.com. I remember singing that one as a schoolkid. |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Down by the bogs From: scrimnet Date: 16 May 06 - 08:45 AM Thanks Q, but I know Mobile (I was in the Army and played Rugger!), and it's certainly not that. The tune is much different, and the words may have been cleaner, but I always thought of it as somewhat risque! |
