Christmas Carols

[Frederick Lacey]

For some weeks now there's been Carols played on the wireless (radio) and it takes me back to when I was a youngster in the
late thirties and during the war etc and we used to at school put our own words to them, which did annoy some of the more
miserable teachers, some I can't remember as time goes on but there is one which I can't get out of my head every time I hear it, got
so that I can't remember the origional words without looking them up. we used to sing instead of While Shepherd's watched their flocks,

While Shepherds washed their socks by night all seated round the tub, a bar of sunlight soap came down and they began to scrub.

Ah memories.....F

One I remember.
No crib for a bed.
Being from the NE I thought for years that the words were.
No crib for a Bairn [child]

[Stan Carter]

can remember as a young lad, going around with a group singing carols and knocking on the door for a hand out. If nothing came, would sing a rowsing chorus of "COME LETS KICK THE DOOR, OH COME LETS KICK THE DOOR IN" boot the door and run like hell.
have a good one,
Stan

One good thing about living in a moo, slim, area. I don't have crowds of kids hammering on my door after singing one line of a Christmas Carol and demanding money for it.

Good Ling Winston slipped last Night
On the Eve of Stephen
When he woke his Legs were bound
But boy were they uneven

Not so much Carol's, may have been ?

(to jingle bells)

Pulling down her pants
Yanking off my own
underneath the mistletoe
I'll make your sister moan.
Your sisters hot! Your mothers not -
and we'll go all the way!
