09 Jan 04 - 03:21 PM (#1089611) Subject: RE: His worship and the pig From: clansfolk They are Brill - and have supplied us with some fantastic songs that we've record (At His Worships Pleasure) who could forget "The Aadvark Song" (sic) "Now that You're 50" "If You had a Brain" and "Little Willie's Walnut Whip" To name just a few of their funny songs they've also have written some superb serious songs as well. They went down a bomb at Fylde Folk Festival last year and I believe they're on the list for booking again in 2004 at Fylde. If anyone can get to The Falcon's 10th Birthday Party on the 11th February at Poulton Nr Blackpool - they'll be there and well worth the trip! Falcon Party with "His Worship" thread |

03 Mar 19 - 01:39 PM (#3980080) Subject: RE: His worship and the pig From: GUEST Ed, Now , here's the lyrics that I have Jake **************************************************************** The Ballad of Big Cosgrove and the Lady Jane by Jeff Paton & Dave Boulton (His Worship the Pig) This ballad was collected in the town of Derby Bolton But this one's not a Childe ballad, this one's an adult one So, turn off your Hi-Fi and TV likewise that cursed Nintendo I will sing a song comprising, mainly filth and innuendo. Come listen to a stirring tale of passion and of power There are more than eighty verses and it only lasts an hour - or so! Concerning Great Lord Wildblood and his lovely Lady Jane And a man called Big Jack Cosgrove, of great renown and fame. Now he wasn't called Big Cosgrove 'cos he had the strength of two He was only four foot eight in height and six stone six wet through Though small of frame, he held the name because, reputedly His bright broad sword, wasn't all that hung down by his knee! It happened thus one Whitsuntide, the sun rose dour and dull. Big Cosgrove, he rode into town and he was on the pull. And Lords and Ladies, they came down from boudoir and from battle To dance, romance and catch perchance a glimpse of Cosgrove's tackle. Lord Randal and Lord Ingram came, Lord Wildblood and his missus Lord Loval and Lord Bateman's wives were trading show-biz kisses But it seems Big Cosgrove was delayed or might not show at all And the crowd all cried "Eee, Jack, you're late!", but that was premature For he burst into the party and he raised an awful cry. For his armour bright was much too tight and pinched twixt groin and thigh And there was music on the stairs and the strains of stirring song As Big Cosgrove strode a tiny giant thru that milling throng And it fell out on that holiday as it oft times had before But he quickly put it away again and hoped nobody saw And he strode up to the lady Jane, saying, "Lady, are you dancing?" She said, "Kind sir, if you're asking, then Yea verrily I'm dancing" So he took her by the lily white hand with fingers long and small 'Cos the other hand was short and fat and just not nice at all He clutched her to his breastplate till she chastised him and implored "Why Sir, you're weapon doth provoke me", he said "Nay lass, that's my sword" He joined her in a swift quadrille both rigorous and rough With lusty looks she struts her funky, medieval stuff And breathlessly she whispers in the dance's dying seconds "Why Sir, your sword doth still provoke me", he said "Nay lass, that's my weapon" Well the hall was decked that eventide with horns and brazen trumpets But he wasn't there for music but to see the brazen strumpets And some went down in velveteen and some went down in lace And when Lady Jane went down it put a smile on Cosgrove's face He arranged to meet her later in a secret lover's tryst Well, Jane turned up a half hour late and Jack turned up half pissed At the height of passion Lady Jane said "I hear someone coming" But Jack said "It isn't me, love, it must just be the plumbing" But her husband burst into the room exuding might and main And said, "You've kissed my wedded wife, you cad, you knave, you swain!" Jack said, "I will deny that charge in front of a solicitor" "In fact about the only thing I have not done is kiss her!" Lord Wildblood said, "I have two swords, to cut through flesh and bone" "And I shall take the best of them and you can get your own!" And the very first blow that Cosgrove struck just nicked Lord Wildblood's neck And the very first blow that Wildblood struck laid Cosgrove on the deck Jane pulled away from Wildblood and she ran to Cosgrove's side She placed her naked nubile form before his fading eyes Miraculous effects occurred but not quite the ones desired For he was laid out and bolt upright at the moment he expired And it came to pass Big Cosgrove, he went to his god unbidden Well they bought a lovely coffin but they couldn't get the lid on So they had the box extended but it made the strangest scene For it looked like they were burying a wooden submarine! So Big Cosgrove he was buried in Ye Olde Robin Hoode But the grave it wasn't deep enough the way it had been dug But they buried Cosgrove anyway and rather than dig more They left him with his periscope protruding thru the floor And people would trip over it when going to the bar They spilt their drinks and skinned their knees, they complained, they cursed, they swore "You could do yourself an injury" is what they all would say "So, why don't you saw it off and throw the bloody thing away?" But the landlord would not do that for he'd promised Lady Jane That Cosgrove had a resting place where'ere he could remain So instead he nailed a seat on top, the sentimental fool And when Lady Jane is in the mood You'll find her in the Robin Hood Still dressed all in her mourning lace With a look of pleasure on her face Still sitting in her favourite place On Big Jack Cosgrove's stool!! ********************************************** |
