A
Cludge Mollier's Shanty
Haul
away me mollyin' fork, and tie the string up tightly,
Them
cludges need a-mollyin', a-mollyin' three times nightly.
(Chorus)
Ho!
Ro!, nibble and scrape,
Nibble
and scrape all night boys,
Ho!
Ro!, nibble and scrape,
The
buggers won't molly themselves.
***
Haul
away me mollyin' fork, then ale and cakes we'll sup on,
A
farmer's cludge is always best, for payment is in mutton.
(Chorus)
Ho!
Ro!, nibble and scrape,
Nibble
and scrape all night boys,
Ho!
Ro!, nibble and scrape,
The
buggers won't molly themselves.
***
Haul
away me mollyin' fork, for night will soon be ending,
When
each fair cludge is mollied boys, then homeward we'll be wending.
(Chorus)
Ho!
Ro!, nibble and scrape,
Nibble
and scrape all night boys,
Ho!
Ro!, nibble and scrape,
The
buggers won't molly themselves.
(repeat
chorus)
