Briefly back to Wragg's story, after mentioning The Railway Children
I had this idea of a sort of fusion with Walkabout -
a nude Jenny Agutter waving her undies frantically
to stop a train somewhere in the Yorkshire Outback
A Yorkshire elegy for a careless maiden
(perhaps it's well to translate: baht'owt = 'without anything on',
and the grubs of course come from Walkabout )
Wheear 'ast tha bin sin' ah saw thee? (ah saw thee?)
On Ilkla Mooar baht'owt
Wheear 'ast tha bin sin' ah saw thee,
Wheear 'ast tha bin sin' ah saw thee?
On Ilkla Mooar baht'owt
On Ilkla Mooar baht'owt
On Ilkla Mooar baht'owt
Wavin ma panties at yon train
On Ilkla Mooar baht 'owt &c
Tha's bahn' to catch thy deeath o' cowd
&c
Then us'll ha' to bury thee
&c
Then t'grubs'll come an' eyt thee oop
&c
Then us'll come an' eyt up t'grubs
&c
Then us'll all ha' etten thee
&c
That's how we'll get us Jenny back
&c
