 the gypsy poet

nanny goats ride


  when i was a small kid on the mannings heath
      we went with granfer
       for to buy a goat to keep
      we walked across the magna track
      till we came at night
      to a little rosey shack
      down a winding country track

      the lady there
      had animals all inside her home
      pigs and horses
      dogs and drakes
      she said il be with you there
      half a shake

      she reapeared with nanny goat on a metal chain
      said nanny is her name
      shes a real good milker
      though can be a pain

      we took nanny home across the boggy heath
      through waterloo
       in the distance we could see
      the lights of poole quay
      we had five dogs in tow
      granfer and uncles two

      we caught a double decker bus
      at old wareham road
      went upstairs
      with goat on chain and dogs of five
      oh how that nanny loved her ride

      those days have long gone now
      but i remember still
      no8 bus ride
      from up on hill
      the nanny goat and dogs in tow
      riding on the bus
      twas a right good show
