A Local Song
“Were you ever in the Moor Sir, Its there you'd see the sea”
A Local SongWere 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- Collector
