Up 'Ards - Stanley Holloway[00:00:00]
Twere getting dusk one winter's night[00:00:09]
When up the clough there came in sight[00:00:12]
A lad who carried through the snow[00:00:14]
A banner with this ere motto[00:00:17]
Up'ards[00:00:20]
His face was glum as he did pass[00:00:25]
His eyes were shiny just like glass[00:00:28]
And as he went upon his way[00:00:31]
He nobbut this ere word did say[00:00:33]
Upards[00:00:37]
And people sitting down to tea[00:00:40]
They heard him plan as plain can be[00:00:43]
They thowt twere final football score[00:00:46]
As this ere word rang out once more[00:00:49]
Upards[00:00:53]
A policeman on his lonely beat[00:00:57]
He stopped the lad up t end of t street[00:01:00]
He said Where't going wi that theer[00:01:02]
The lad just whispered in his ear[00:01:06]
Upards[00:01:09]
Don't go down t clough the policeman said[00:01:13]
It's mucky road for thee to tread[00:01:16]
Canal's at bottom deep and wide[00:01:19]
That's not my road the lad replied[00:01:22]
It's Up ards[00:01:25]
A young lass stopped him further up[00:01:30]
She said Come in wi me and sup[00:01:33]
He said I'm takin none o yon[00:01:36]
Besides I must be getting on[00:01:39]
Upards[00:01:42]
Next day some lads had just begun[00:01:47]
To tak' their whippets for a run[00:01:50]
When dogs got scratching in the snow[00:01:53]
And found flag with this ere motto[00:01:56]
Upards[00:01:59]
That set them digging all around[00:02:03]
And twasn't long before they found[00:02:06]
A lad whose name they never learned[00:02:09]
Whose face was white whose toes had turned[00:02:13]
Upards[00:02:18]
Twas very plain for to behold[00:02:21]
The lad had ta'en his death o cold[00:02:24]
He'd got his feet wet early on[00:02:27]
And from his feet the cold had gone[00:02:30]
Upards[00:02:33]
This story only goes to show[00:02:36]
That when the fields is white wi snow[00:02:40]
It's inadvisable to go[00:02:43]
Upards[00:02:47]
