BIG BRAVE BILL (K. Rusby PRS/MCPS)

Young Jamie Clarke was in Cannon Hall Park,
Messing about with a laugh and a lark,
When all down the valley the rain forced the flood,
Young Jamie was a gonner neck deep in the mud,
But here’s Bill, Bill with a rescuing plan,
And it’s Bill, Bill and he saved the young man.

Chorus
Big Brave Bill, from Barnsley he came,
Big Brave Bill, from the mine,
Big Brave Big, we’ll remember his name,
The hero who drinks Yorkshire Tea all the time.

Thomas B Grindle worked in Carlton Main,
Proud as can be of his part in the chain,
But oh woe betide on this terrible day,
When a prop in the shaft underground it gave way,
But here’s Bill, Bill with his hero strength eyes,
And he’s burned deep and now Tom sees blue skies.

Chorus

Old Mrs Dobbins from down the Dearneside,
Went to Mallorca to take the seaside,
Was served a cup of warm water, tea bag on the side,
UHT milk, oh she broke down and cried,
But here’s Bill, Bill he’s with kettle and proud,
We love Bill, Bill came the cheers from the crowd.

Chorus x 2
The hero who thinks Yorkshire,
The hero who loves Yorkshire,
The hero who drinks Yorkshire Tea all the time.
