(The Cuckold's Song) Our Goodman

Now it's my old man came home one night
Came home one night to me
And a strange hat on the stairs he found
What strange hat can this be?
What strange hat can this be my love
What strange hat can this be?
It's a chamber pot his wife replied
My mother she sent to me

Many thousand miles I've travelled
Ten thousand miles or more
But a fur all on a c-p [chamber pot] I never saw before

A strange pair of boots on the stairs he found
It's a milking pail his wife replied
But spurs all on a milking pail I never saw before

A strange horse in the stable
Tis a milking cow his wife replied
But a saddle on a milking cow I never saw before
t

A strange coat on the bed he found
It's a counterpaine his wife replied
But buttons on a counterpaine…

A strange man in the bed he found
It's a baby his wife replied
But whiskers on a baby's face etc

James Brooks, Bridgwater, Aug 6 1906

Gentleman Sportsman’s Song

Gentleman sportsmen I pray listen all
I’ll sing you a song about famous Skewball
And how she ran over you shall all understand
It was by one Squire Melville the pearl of Ireland
And of her late actions as you’ve heard before
She was latterly challenged by one Sir Aff Core

Now Squire Melville then smiled and this he did say
Now you gentlemen sportsman tomorrow’s the day
All you that have hundreds I will lay you all
For I will bet thousands on famous Skewball

Now the day being appointed the cattle walked out
Squire Melville then ordered his rider to mount
The rider then mounted and away they did fly
Skewball like an arrow passed Miss Porty by
But as they were a passing by the far distant moor
Skewball like an arrow he gave his discount

James Brooks (58) at Bridgwater
