28 May 03 - 04:25 AM (#960308) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: The Day we lost the Train From: smallpiper You mean "Wor Nanny's a mazer" I've got the lyrics somewhere and will dig them out for you. However the 1st verse go's summit like Wor Nanny an me ned up wor mynds t gan an catch the train T'gan t'the toon t' buy sum claethes for wor little Billy an Jane But by the time w' got t'Rollands Gill the mornin' train was gone and there wasn't another one gannin that way till seventeen minutes t'one. ahsez te wor Nan its a long way t'gan an ah saw by hor face she was vext but ah sez nevor mind we ha plenty of time we'll stop an gan on wi the next she gave a bit smile when ah spoke up an sez Theors a pubilik hoose along here we'll gan alang there get worsels warm and a glass o the best bittor beer. Whey wor Nan was so stout ah knew she'd not walk and didn't seem willin t'try When Ah think on the trouble ah had wi hor that day Am as like t'borst oot an cry. Cos wor Nanny's amazer an a amazer she'll remain as lang as ah live ah'll nivor forget the day we lost the train. I may be a little off on the last few lines of the first verse but will check (the lyrics are a box somewhere and I havn't performed it - as a monologue in years) |
