Whissendine

Lyrics for Whissendine

Flowers by the water When daylight's gone we boarded down I helped you with your letter At dawn the one that fought you mine I helped you like a brother Sail on like I beat you round I form my rows along Delay down the features On my way down On my way down On my way down On my way down Drank lines on the forum Bore me on the four wheel ground I delay like the letter Daylight's gone we boarded down I helped you on the water She may ride the four winds down I tamed you with the prevalence Of seaweed on the beaches On my way down On my way down On my way down On my way down On my way down On my way down On my way down On my way down What's in the bottle a-standing there? I'll tell thee: gin! But if thou wants thy grog, I mun go for it Down to the inn Nay, for I be my hand lad But though thou was ever so dry Thou gets no gin from the bottle there And I'll tell thee why Me and thy sister was married When were it? Back end of June Ten years sin And we agreed as well as a fiddly tune I could fettle and clump old boots and shoes With the best on them all As far as from Thursby-Thurn Up to Harmsby and Hutterby Hall We was busy as busy the bloom And as happy as heart could think And then the babby were born And then I takes to the drink
