《Three Ha’pence a Foot》歌词

[00:00:05] I'll tell you an old fashioned story
[00:00:07] That Grandfather used to relate
[00:00:09] Of a joiner and building contractor
[00:00:12] Is name it were Sam Oglethwaite
[00:00:15] In a shop on the banks of the Irwell
[00:00:17] Old Sam used to follow is trade
[00:00:19] In a place you'll have eard of called Bury
[00:00:22] You know where black puddings is made
[00:00:26] One day Sam were filling a knot ole
[00:00:28] Wi putty when in thro the door
[00:00:31] Came an old feller fair wreathed wi whiskers
[00:00:34] Tould chap said ood morning I'm Noah
[00:00:38] Sam asked Noah what was is business
[00:00:40] And tould chap went on to remark
[00:00:42] That not liking the look of the weather
[00:00:45] E were thinking of building an Ark
[00:00:48] E d gotten the wood for the bulwarks
[00:00:50] And all tother shipbuilding junk
[00:00:53] And wanted some nice Bird's Eye Maple
[00:00:56] To panel the side of is bunk
[00:00:58] Now Maple were Sam's Monopoly
[00:01:01] That means it were all is to cut
[00:01:04] And nobody else adn't got none
[00:01:06] So e asked Noah three ha'pence a foot
[00:01:10] A ha'penny too much replied Noah
[00:01:13] A Penny a foot's more the mark
[00:01:15] A penny a foot and when t'rain comes
[00:01:18] I'll give you a ride in me Ark
[00:01:21] But neither would budge in the bargain
[00:01:23] The whole daft thing were kind of a jam
[00:01:26] So Sam put is tongue out at Noah
[00:01:29] And Noah made Long Bacon* at Sam
[00:01:32] In wrath and ill feeling they parted
[00:01:35] Not knowing when they'd meet again
[00:01:38] And Sam had forgot all about it
[00:01:40] Til one day it started to rain
[00:01:44] It rained and it rained for a fortni't
[00:01:47] And flooded the ole countryside
[00:01:50] It rained and it kept on raining
[00:01:53] Til the Irwell were fifty mile wide
[00:01:57] The couses were soon under water
[00:01:59] And folks to the roof ad to climb
[00:02:02] They said twas the rottenest summer
[00:02:04] That Bury ad ad for some time
[00:02:07] The rain showed no sign of abating
[00:02:10] And water rose hour by hour
[00:02:12] Til the only dry land were at Blackpool
[00:02:15] And that were on top of the Tower
[00:02:18] So Sam started swimming to Blackpool
[00:02:20] It took 'im best part of a week
[00:02:23] Is clothes were wet through when'e got there
[00:02:26] And s boots were beginning to leak
[00:02:28] E stood to is watch chain in water
[00:02:31] On Tower top just before dark
[00:02:34] When who should come sailing towards im
[00:02:36] But old Noah steering is Ark
[00:02:39] They stared at each other in silence
[00:02:42] Til Ark were alongside all but
[00:02:45] Then Noah said What price yer Maple
[00:02:48] Sam answered Three ha'pence a foot
[00:02:51] Noah said Nay I'll make thee an offer
[00:02:54] The same as I did t'other day
[00:02:57] A penny a foot and a free ride
[00:03:00] Now come on lad what does tha say
[00:03:04] Three hapence a foot came the answer
[00:03:06] So Noah is sail ad to hoist
[00:03:09] And sailed off again in a dudgeon
[00:03:11] While Sam stood determined but moist
[00:03:15] Noah cruised around flying is pigeons
[00:03:19] Til fortieth day of the wet
[00:03:21] And on is way back passing Blackpool
[00:03:24] E saw old Sam standing there yet
[00:03:27] Is chin just stuck out of the water
[00:03:30] A comical figure e cut
[00:03:33] Noah said Now what's the price of yer Maple
[00:03:37] Sam answered Three ha'pence a foot
[00:03:41] Said Noah Yed best take my offer
[00:03:44] It's last time I'll be hereabout
[00:03:47] And if water comes half an inch higher
[00:03:50] I'll happen get Maple for nowt
[00:03:53] Three hapence a foot it'll cost yer
[00:03:56] And as fer me Sam said don't fret
[00:03:59] The sky's took a turn since this morning
[00:04:03] I think it'll brighten up yet
