27 Oct 02 - 03:05 PM (#812618) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Will ye go Lassie, go. OTHER PARODY From: Genie I've heard one where the premise is that the owner has taken the collie out for a walk and after a very lengthy, non-productive walk, begs: "Will ye go, Lassie, go?" I thought that was in the forum, but I haven't found it yet. (If you type in "Lassie" you get tons of hits, and the threads I've found on "will ye go, lassie" seem all to be about the "Wild Mountain Thyme" song. I'd love the words to that one, if anyone can direct me to them. Genie |

OTHER PARODY From: Hrothgar The only dog one I've heard is the one with the chorus: Will ye go, lassie, go Away from the "Peking Swallow" For if you don't go now, We'll be eating you tomorrow. Can't remember verses, but I can find the bloke who sang it. |

OTHER PARODY From: Genie MMario posted this in another thread: "Oh the night is dark and stormy and stay by the fire I ought-a but I've yet to walk my collie and she needs to pass her water! will ye go, lassie, go. For Three hours now I'm waiting Icy cold and shiver-shaking She's examined every grass-blade And she's yet to take a squat-a will ye go lassie go! (first time I heard this there was a dog in the audience... every time "Will ye go lassie go" was sung the dog would give a single bark. Had the entire place in tears!)" |

OTHER PARODY From: JudeL If it was sung in the barn at Whittlebury you could try asking Bob & Barbara Brown if they can let you have the recording. Although they only produce 2 tapes from each year's weekend they record, catalogue and archive the entire weekends singing in the barn. If it was in one of the impromptu bits in the food sheds although they don't normally record that stuff it may still be worth asking as they tend to remember who sings what and have contact addresses for most people that attended. |
