Happen Any Old Time

« back

A wee bit of fun to end the album and celebrate my old 5 string banjo coming off the wall to be played a little over the last year or so.

(Chorus)
Happen any old time, happen any old time
Eat some food, drink some wine
Happen any old time, that’s what I said
One day here, the next day dead

Mrs Jones, she had a fall
She didn’t see the cat at all
One squashed cat, and then she fell
You shoulda’ heard that old cat yell

Chorus

Dining alfresco in Leith
Old Jacob went to find his teeth
A seagull supped at Jacob’s treat
Old Jacob died within the week

Chorus

Joe McGurk, he bumped his head
When trying to rise up from his bed
Next day they found him on the floor
You shoulda’ heard old Joseph snore

Chorus

Willie Nish had  a wish
That he would catch a big fat fish
Did Willie catch his fish we wonder
Last seen headin’ way out yonder

Chorus
