Maybe Bill Horne will know if it was Red Dog 8^): Does your brown ale loose it's flavour in the bed pan overnight? Do you wish you hadn't drunk it when you stagger home half tight? Does your bladder feel exhausted when you're up and down all night? Does your brown ale loose it's flavour in the bedpan overnight?"

I asked Eddie if it was OK to record it a few years ago- he said 'Yes, but you better be quick as Jennifer Lopez is after it as well' |

08 Apr 15 - 06:40 PM (#3700663) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: does your brown ale lose its flavour in From: Dave Sutherland My thoughts have been perusing, why do men go boozing, Do they stop to think on the ill - effects of drink? Each night they're on the pop, their life span can't be long, The answer to my question, is it right or is it wrong? CH Does your Brown Ale lose its flavour in the bedpan overnight? Do you wish you hadn't drunk it when you stagger home half tight? Does your bladder feel exhausted when you're up and down all night? Does your Brown Ale lose its flavour in the bedpan overnight? I've drunk all kinds of hops, I've drunk all kinds of slops, From Export to Pale Ale, it's landed me in jail, Drinking's brought me sorrows, drinking's brought me joys, I know what you're all saying, it'll bring me haemorrhoids, Beer is the cause of sin, with whisky, rum and gin, As you know very well, will lead you all to Hell, Satan gets the sinners, the old uns and the new uns, I know that you're all praying that the Devil sells McEwan's. Yes Eddie MacIntyre - over to you Jim to improve. |

Yes, sorry about the confusion between the Eds, it's not the first time. Can anyone remember the words to 'The Dowdy Streets of Jarrow'? Definitely an Eddie MacIntyre song. |

Here are as many of the lyrics of The 'Dowdy Streets of Jarrow' I can remember. Feel free to organise them as you wish. THE DOWDY STREETS OF JARROW [A parody on the Dowy Dens of Yarrow] There is a tale I'll sing about A tale of grief and sorrow About a girl from Felling Square Who was courting strong in Jarrow The lady went to see her da And said that on the morrow That she would wed that teddy boy On in the dowdy street of Jarrow Oh daughter dear my daughter dear Why can't you find another? Or you'll end up a right owld drudge Like did your dear old mother The brother called his gang to him And said that on that morrow That they would "do" that teddy boy On the dowdy streets of Jarrow The ted he walked up through the close Where the streets are broad and narrow And there he spied 9 Felling lads Come to do him in - in Jarrow Well there he flew and there he slew And there he wounded saely Til her brother John came in beyond And licked him most unfairly His belt lay round his bleeding fist He was beaten to a shadow And there he lay all broken and torn On the dowdy streets of Jarrow He called his lady unto him To ease his grief and sorrow But she's found another at the Drill Hall dance While he lies dead in Jarrow You can find more of my stuff if you type 'Ed Pickford' into a search engine. I did not include the parody in my songbook. Best wishes always Ed Pickford" |
