Johnny Sc-tt and Tommy C-rr
A dialogue Sc-tt-Ah! woe's me what shall I do,
Tommy C-rr, Tommy C-rr?
For I have most cause to rue,
Tommy C-rr!
Though your costs are very great,
Yet much harder is my fate--
I may shut the Kitty gate,
Tommy C-rr! C-rr- I will soon be clear of mine,
Johny Sc-tt, Johnny Sc-tt!
For I will myself confine,
Johnny Sc-tt!
Just for three short weeks or so,
Up the nineteen steps I'll go,
And bewash'd as white as snow,
Johnny Sc-tt! Sc-tt- Oh! that tyrant of a Judge,
Tommy C-rr, Tommy C-rr!
He has surely had some grudge,
Tommy C-rr!
Can we gain our honest bread,
Now when cut off in full trade,
We who've been so long well fed,
Tommy C-rr! C-rr- Oh! how trifling was our chance,
Johnny Sc-tt, Johnny Sc-tt!
Oh! had Scarlett been at France,
Johnny Sc-tt!
Brougham's help was all we had,
Well he knew our case was bad;
And au'd Bayley frown'd like mad,
Johnny Sc-tt! Sc-tt- I my huckstering shop may let,
Tommy C-rr, Tommy C-rr!
No more customers we'll get,
Tommy C-rr!
Mrs. Sc-tt has room to growl,
There is not one hungry soul
For to buy a penny roll,
Tommy C-rr! C-rr- Let us curse the day and hour,
Johnny Sc-tt, Johnny Sc-tt!
That depriv'd us of our power,
Johnny Sc-tt!
Fam'd Newcastle's rattling boys
Will kick up a thund'ring noise,
And for fun will black our eyes,
Johnny Sc-tt! -In: The Newcastle Song Book or Tyne-Side Songster., W&T Fordyce
