From: GUEST,Crystal The first verse is somthing like; When Bonaparte he comanded his army to stand, And he levelled his cannon all over the land, Many thousands of Prussions by his cannon did die, And a poor sod on a milk float who was just passing by. Try a google search on either "Les Barker" or "Unigate Milkman" |

10 Mar 07 - 12:06 PM (#1992606) Subject: Lyr Add: THE UNIGATE MILKMAN (Les Barker) From: GUEST,The Educated Fool ^^ THE UNIGATE MILKMAN (Les Barker) When Bonaparte commanded for his troops for to stand, He planted his cannons all over the land. Many hundreds of Prussians by his cannon did fly, And the poor sod on a milk float who was just passing by. Broken hearted I'll wander, I'll have no milk now ever. For my Unigate Milkman, In the wars he was slain. I last saw my milkman on a cold winter's day, He picked up my empties and he rambled away. He rambled to France and he's up in Heaven now, Well I can't understand it the depot's in Slough. Chorus If I were a Blackbird and had wings to fly, I'd fly to the spot where my milkman did die. For my milkman was good and my milkman was true, And I'd peck at all his bottle tops it's what blackbirds do. Chorus Little dove Sheila Mansfield and above us she flies And my memories of him flow, they flow pasteurised. The sadness is greater than this song can tell, He used to sell butter, eggs and yoghurt as well. Chorus Oh bony old Bony' you've raided his float, I can see a pint of gold top concealed in your coat. I will tear out my hair and cry "How can this be?" He's my Unigate milkman and I've just made him tea. Chorus |
