Here they are... What you've been
hankering over THE WORDS TO GEORGE'S SON! if you prefer
to be a little more active in your humming, sing along.
If you just like a chuckle whilst you 'boogie' then read
on...
Oh there was George and Georges son,
Two finer dogs, oh, they never did run, and they worked
the sheep, and the worked'em well, Oh, but George's son
he could run like hell.
Oh one dark night when all were safe
asleep, To George's son, oh, some devil did creep,
Saying, "Show your master, come show him true, What
young George's son, with them sheep can do.
" Oh how they scrambled and how
they flew, And how they thundered the Parish through, How
high the cliff he drove them along, Oh and did his ears
write that devil's song.
Thier clattering bells roused the
shepherd bold, And at that sound, oh, his blood ran cold,
And he prayed for mercy with all his might, Saying,
"some demon rides with my sheep this night.
" And quickly, quickly, he ran the
ground, And quickly, quickly, that cliff he found, And
quickly, quickly, he raised his gun, And the devil smiled
on young George's son.
Oh the flock was lost and the fortune
too, And a brisk young farmer could ruin you, To some
labouring job he was forced to come, Oh, but his saddest
loss was young george's son.
Oh there was George and Georges son,
Two finer dogs, oh, they never did run, and they worked
the sheep, and the worked'em well, Oh, but George's son
he could run like hell.
