A Lancashire Grace

A LANCASHIRE GRACE by Harvey Kershaw
Vocal:-  John Howarth

​


For what we ha’n tu eyt gi’ thanks,
Let’s hope its tu yu’r likin’,
If yo’ ha’n teyth then use ‘em weel,
We want no pickin’ an pikin’.

If some o’ yo’ ha’n loyst yo’ore teyth,
Then yo’ll ha’ tu use yo’r gums,
So get agate, an’ settle to,
​An’ tackle ow ‘at comes



A LANCASHIRE GRACE
John starts this session with a Lancashire ‘grace before meals’, as we used to say, written by Harvey Kershaw MBE, the Rochdale dialect poet who the Tinkers were privileged to know and work with in the late sixties and early seventies.John almost manages to sound more like Harvey than Harvey here.
​Vocal John Howarth
