  1. A Local Song

    “Were you ever in the Moor Sir, Its there you'd see the sea”

    A Local Song
    Were you ever in the Moor Sir,
    Its there you'd see the sea
    And Larry Hogans public house
    Is standing on the Quay
    It is there you'd see ships sailing
    And their main yard's so high
    And cant you tell the truth Sir
    And dont be telling a lie.
    And as for Dickie Lamberts
    He always beats the band
    He carried two big millstones
    one in every hand
    And if he saw wild fowl
    Tis at them he'd let fly
    And cant you tell the truth Sir
    And dont be telling a lie
