algy Posted February 3, 2013 Report Share Posted February 3, 2013 Owdham Footbo by Ammon Wrigley It’s run an’ jump an’ hop an’ skip, An’ sheawt hooray, an’ hip, hip, hip, It’s singin’ songs an’ eytin tripe, An’ suppin’ pints at single swipe, An’ brass for th’ wife to buy a hat, An’ th’ childer brass for this an’ that, An’ beauncin’ gaily op an’ deawn, Yo’ connut find a merrier teawn, When Owdham’s won. Aw lost mi brass, Awm crabbed an’ croot, Aw lifted th’ cat eaut wi’ mi boot, Awr ne’er as mad i’ o mi life, Cleautin’ th’ kids an’ cursin’ th’ wife, Awm sure mi brains han left mi yed, Ther’s nowt to do but goh to bed, At six o’clock o’ th’ Setturday neet, They’re o i’ bed i’ eaur street, When Owdham’s lost. Some words of explanation: Sheawt = shout Eytin = eating Childer = plural of child Deawn = down Brass = money Croot = crooked, probably cross and upset Eaut = out O = all Han = they have Yed = head Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harry hayes Posted February 3, 2013 Report Share Posted February 3, 2013 Enjoyed that Algy. Oldham's ground is the coldest place on earth. People always used to talk like that - sadly? now seems to be dying out. Happy days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
