lyrics

Mary from the dairy, cor she were a smasher,
She used to bring me milk each day.
Tried to chat ‘er up, she didn’t wanna know me,
Wouldn’t let me have my whey!

Lena was me cleaner, worked three days a week,
To try and keep the dust at bay.
Thought I’d try me luck, and said, “you’re quite a scrubber!”,
But she didn’t wanna play!

[chorus]
I’ll never get myself a Somerset maid,
Doesn’t matter how much I get paid,
Coz it seems to that I’ll never get laid,
I’ll never get a Somerset maid.

Anne worked in the butchers down in Barrow Gurney,
I saw her working in the shops
Thought I'd try me luck & grabbed a piece of prime rump,
She just slapped me in the chops!

Doris was a florist, worked in Shepton Mallet,
Tending to her hollyhocks.
One fine day I said, “come on let’s see yer bloomers!”,
But she went and called the cops!

[chorus]

Gilly's quite a filly, likes to go out jumping,
Heard that she was highly strung.
Grabbed her by the withers, she didn’t seem to like it,
Threw me in a pile of dung!

Betty is the barmaid down The Fox & Badger,
Serving up some lovely grub
When I tried to pull her, she yelled for the landlord,
Barred me from the bloomin’ pub!

[chorus]
