Albert And The 'Eadsman - Stanley Holloway[00:00:00]

On young Albert Ramsbottom's birthday[00:00:06]

His parents asked what he'd like most[00:00:09]

He said to see t Tower of London[00:00:12]

And gaze upon Anne Boleyn's ghost[00:00:15]

They thowt this request were unusual[00:00:18]

And at first to refuse were inclined[00:00:22]

Til Pa said a trip t metrollopse[00:00:25]

Might broaden the little lad's mind[00:00:28]

They took charrybank up to London[00:00:31]

And got there at quarter to fower[00:00:34]

Then seeing as pubs wasn't open[00:00:37]

They went straight away to the tower[00:00:40]

They didn't think much to the buildin[00:00:42]

T weren't what they'd been led to suppose[00:00:46]

And the Bad Word' Tower didn't impress them[00:00:48]

They said Blackpool had got one of those[00:00:52]

At last Albert found a Beefeater[00:00:55]

And filled the old chap with alarm[00:00:58]

By asking for Ghost of Anne Boleyn[00:01:01]

As carried her ead neath her arm[00:01:04]

Said Beefeater You ought to come Fridays[00:01:07]

If it's ghost of Anne Boleyn you seek[00:01:10]

Her union now limits her output[00:01:13]

And she only gets one walk a week[00:01:16]

But he said if it's ghosts that you're after[00:01:19]

There's Lady Jane Grey's to be seen[00:01:23]

She runs around chased by the Eadsman[00:01:26]

At midnight on the old Tower Green[00:01:29]

They waited on t green till near midnight[00:01:33]

Then thinking they'd time for a sup[00:01:37]

They took out what food they'd brought with them[00:01:39]

And waited for t ghost to turn up[00:01:43]

On the first stroke of twelve up jumped Albert[00:01:46]

His mouth full of cold dripping toast[00:01:50]

With his stick with the orses ead andle[00:01:53]

He pointed and said Here's the ghost[00:01:57]

They felt their skins going all goosey[00:02:00]

As Lady Jane's Spectre drew near[00:02:04]

And Albert fair swallered his tonsils[00:02:07]

When the Eadsman an all did appear[00:02:11]

The Eadsman chased Jane round the grass patch[00:02:13]

They saw his axe flash in the moon[00:02:17]

And seeing as poor lass were eadless[00:02:20]

They wondered what what next he would prune[00:02:23]

He suddenly caught sight of Albert[00:02:27]

As midnight was on its last chime[00:02:30]

As he lifted his axe father murmered[00:02:34]

We'll get the insurance this time[00:02:37]

At that Mother rose taking umbridge[00:02:40]

She said Put that cleaver away[00:02:44]

You're not cutting our Albert's ead off[00:02:47]

Yon collar were clean on today[00:02:50]

The brave little lad stood undaunted[00:02:53]

Til the ghost were within half a pace[00:02:56]

Then taking the toast he were eating[00:02:59]

Slapped it dripping side down in his face[00:03:02]

T were a proper set back for the Eadsman[00:03:07]

He let out one owl of despair[00:03:09]

Then taking his ladyfriend with him[00:03:12]

He disappeared just like that there[00:03:15]

When Pa saw the way as they vanished[00:03:19]

He trembled with fear and looked blue[00:03:22]

Til Ma went and patted his shoulder[00:03:26]

An said Sallright lad we saw it too[00:03:28]

Some say twere the drippin as done it[00:03:33]

From a roast leg of mutton it came[00:03:36]

And as the Eadsman had been a Beefeater[00:03:38]

They reckon he vanished from shame[00:03:42]

And around Tower Green from that moment[00:03:45]

They've nere seen a sign of the ghost[00:03:48]

But when t Beefeaters go on night duty[00:03:52]

They take slices of cold drippin toast[00:03:55]
