A Pace Egging Song Lyrics & Tabs by Noel Mcloughlin
A Pace Egging Song
guitar chords lyrics
Here's one two three jolly lads all in one mind
We have come a pace egging and I hope you'll prove kind
And I hope you'll prove kind with your eggs and strong beer
And we'll come no more nigh you until the next year
And the first that comes in is Lord Nelson, you'll see
With a bunch of blue ribbons to tie round his knee
And a star on his breast like silver does shine
I hope he remembers it's pace egging time
Here's one two three jolly lads all in one mind
We have come a pace egging and I hope you'll prove kind
And I hope you'll prove kind with your eggs and strong beer
And we'll come no more nigh you until the next year
And the next that comes in it is Lord Collingwood
And he's fought with Lord Nelson till he shed his blood
And he's come from the sea old England to view
And the next that comes in it is Lord Collingwood
And he's fought with Lord Nelson till he shed his blood
And he's come from the sea old England to view
He's come a pace egging with the whole of his crew
Here's one two three jolly lads all in one mind
We have come a pace egging and I hope you'll prove kind
And I hope you'll prove kind with your eggs and strong beer
And we'll come no more nigh you until the next year
And the last that comes in is old Tosspot, you'll see
He's a valiant old man and in every degree
He's a valiant old man and he wears a pigtail
And all his delight is a-drinking mulled ale
Here's one two three jolly lads all in one mind
We have come a pace egging and I hope you'll prove kind
And I hope you'll prove kind with your eggs and strong beer
And we'll come no more nigh you until the next year
Come ladies and gentlemen, sit by the fire
Put your hands in your pockets and give us our desire
Put your hands in your pockets and treat us all right
If you give nought, we'll take nought, farewell and goodnight
Here's one two three jolly lads all in one mind
We have come a pace egging and I hope you'll prove kind
And I hope you'll prove kind with your eggs and strong beer
And we'll come no more nigh you until the next year
