The only bits I can remember are... Down by the bogs Where the bog grass grows He wanted to go Down by the bogs Which I think was the chorus and then the last verse (I think!) They buried him in hob nailed boots hob nailed boots, hob nailed boots They buried him in hob nailed boots Down by the bogs I would be much obliged of help with this one! |
