CXCI — 2nd Figure
[Xml]
Last night I was lying on me number,
An’ a foolish man come wake me out of slumber,
Say Why oh! Why oh!
I never see a woman dancing with a wooden leg.
Bammerlichy, bammerlichy, bamby,
Bammerlichy, bammerlichy, bamby,
Bammerlichy, bammerlichy, bamby,
I never see a woman dancing with a wooden leg.
The scene is laid in the People’s Shelter at Kingston which has numbered sleeping-berths.
At “Bammerlichy” etc. the dancers imitate the stiff action of a wooden leg.
