Folk & Traditional Song Lyrics www.traditionalmusic.co.ukBilly Cocked HatBilly Cocked Hat(Don Bilston)I am a young man. I'm in my prime.I work as hard as any man can,Cho: In my billy cocked hat, silken waistcoat, Corduroy trousers tied at the knee,Living in a shanty, feeding fleas,Shoveling muck all through the day,Every Sunday, I goes on the randy,Finds my way to the nearest town.Blasting tunnels where the line runs deep,Digging out bodies where the roof has fell,Contract's finished, the navvy's gone,And trains now run on the lines 'e's laid.Tommy-shop is the British equivalent of the American "company store." As sung by Gary & Vera Aspey on "Stories, Songs, Humour," 1962.
