The Curiosities of Dudley and the Black Country, From 1800 to 1860 / Also an Account of the Trials and Sufferings of Dud Dudley, with His Mettallum Martis: Etc.

by C. F. G. Clark

Poor old Billy who never could fight nor yet preach,

Expected that day to have read a long speech,

But the brave Abercrombie whom none can impeach,

Made Billy and Bob run away.

Chorus.—So it’s Oh dear, &c.

So frighten’d was Billy and “Buy-a-Broom” too,

That his Speech for a few days he couldna’ get through,

But the brave Abercrombie and all his brave crew,

On Tuesday forc’d Billy to bay.

Chorus.—So it’s Oh dear, &c.
