lirik lagu poor old horse – richard dawson
[verse 1]
at gateshead in a tanner’s yard
three young men were [?] hard
a poor old horse they’d fixed to k!ll
befell the task to dexterous bill
[chorus]
poor old horse
poor old horse
hear what they did to the poor old horse
[verse 2]
his palms around the hilt of the axe
delivered such a horrible blow
the horse emerged a strangled cry
he glanced it just above the eye
[chorus]
[verse 3]
and now to put it out of pain
our billy took another aim
the horse forsook the man he cursed
for the second blow was much like the first
[chorus]
[verse 4]
he kept up thumping on its head
and then he worked the body instead
the air grew cloudy with breath so hot
of man and beast a-mingling
[chorus]
[verse 5]
“i’ll try no more” conceded bill
so up stepped ned to test his sk!ll
he wacked the poor thing on his nose
he sprained his wrist and bloodies his clothes
[chorus]
[verse 6]
the foreman came then with his knife
determined for to take its life
he took his aim and thrust it home
alas he hit the collarbone
[chorus]
[verse 7]
they broke its leg with a rusty spade
then all upon it heavily laid
to quell the struggle each did their part
until the blade had reached its heart
[chorus]
[verse 8]
now each he goes his separate path
for a cup full of ale or a nice hot bath
a kiss on the lips of a wife newly wed
or a look at the baby sleeping in bed
[chorus x2]
