The Wurzels - Blackbird

[barbarybar]

Different lyrics/tune, goes something like this Oi can see the Blackbird's nest, Oi know where Ee be. He's in yonder turnip tree and Oi be after Ee

Oi saw Ee and Ee saw me.

Ee called Oi a bugger and a lier.

If ever Oi find that blackbird's nest

Oi'm gonna set the bugger on fire

Four and twenty year down upon the farm

there baint no flys on Oi

So no bloody blackbird

is gonna make a bugger out of Oi.

[misslovely101kiss]

[futball94able]

classic.



[AtharAqua]

I rather dislike it when the lyrics are typed incorrectly... Please, for all our sanity, use references when copying out the lyrics. Also, learn to spell. Such a brilliant song, ruined by the illiteracy so common in the current world...

[3tangle3]

[anessenator]

Proud to be a cider punk from Wilts! Arrrrr

@7obscenity7 The West Country is not just Somerset. Otherwise it would be called The Somerset. Thick as pigshit.

[7obscenity7]

@anessenator read my previous comments didnt say it was you gay dipshit

[sandi43able]

[leadbred]

@GimmeDatDammit

i agree, needs a true country lad to hear them

[newhollandt8]

or ah

[NekoChanMaasta]

Lol, know was spelt as no XD

[Ade6464]

lol. Why is everyone arguing over this song? I am a middle-aged, middle-class black man from Somerset. I grew up with The Wurzels and clearly remember their early days in Nailsea. Adge Cutler (A.J. Alan John) the original singer who sadly died in a car accident (an MG if you're interested) was godfather to my late great friend, Alex Batt.

It's all a laugh and everything's ok in the world as long as The Wurzels are still about

[Stemax1960]

Ows thee father, alright!

[alyshiaa123]

[cv1284]

ACTUALY LYRICS!!

![Chorus]

No longer can I sleep at night, get peace of any kind,

That bird’ll be the death of me, he’s prayin’ on me mind!

If I chase him long enough, I’ll get ‘en by and by,

And celebrate me vict’ry with a girt big blackbird pie!

[Chorus]

[cv1284]

ACTUALY LYRICS!!

![Chorus]

If I goes out poachin’, a creepin’ through the fields,

With me old retriever, a followin’ at me heels.

If I aim me shotgun at a pheasant in the hay

That bloody blackbird starts his row and frightens him away!

[cv1284]

ACTUALY LYRICS!!!Chorus]

Underneath the open sky in spring we loves to dine

We likes to ‘ear the flappin’ of the missus washin’ line

We listens to a tuneful song, a blackbird or a tit,

But on me vest and underpants he scored a direct hit!

[cv1284]

ACTUALY LYRICS!!!All me life I’m on the farm, Workin’ for me keep

Tendin’ pigs and chickens, and they cows and sheep

But everywhere I’m workin’, there’s one who always mocks me

He hidin' somewhere in the trees, blackbird I’ll ‘ave he!

[cv1284]

ACTUALY LYRICS!!! Chorus]Where be it Blackbird to? I know where he be, He be up yon Wurzel tree, And I be after he! Now I sees he, And he sees I, Bugger’d if I don’t get ‘en Wit a girt big stick I’ll knock ‘im down Blackbird I’ll ‘ave he! La la la la la la La la la la la la ‘Ow’s ‘E Father? (Audience Answer) Allright!

[xxDannyMillerFanxx]

Now I sees he, And he sees I, bugger'd if I don't get 'en. Wit a girt big stick I'll knock 'im down. Blackbird, I'll 'ave thee! :P

This accent faded out where I lived in Somerset (Chard), but now in Devon I bump in to people speaking like this every day. It's so hard to understand! lol

[3tangle3]

@xxDannyMillerFanxx this accent stretched right to reading right uptil 1960/70s......its the original southern saxon way of speaking....but the london sounds are taking over and west country is looked down on

[ancientraver19881989]

@3tangle3 thats true too many posh people from the south east moving down? having said that all my old man's family in Wiltshire still speak like it - working class people tend to keep it more i suppose

[3tangle3]

its hows ye father

[EloraTheFaun]

12 people couldn't catch that bloody blackbird.

[Pokemon226600]

Somerset FTW!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MoukDan123]

one bit in particular got me with the lyrics though cuz it aint even close to what he actually says cuz it aint "under callia sleep at night get beasts of any kind that bird will be the death of me hes playin on me mind" its actually "no longer can i sleep at night get peace of any kind that bird'll be the death of me hes prayin on me mind"

[MoukDan123]

Bristolian and proud!! and theres so many mistakes in those lyrics its unbeliveable but i suppose it makes it easyer to understand if you dont know the language

[lettybabesify]

@MoukDan123 you clearly do not know devonshire then, the lyrics were perfect and you bristolians are stuck up bastards with wierd accents

[MoukDan123]

@lettybabesify shut up you fuckin bellend do you actually know bristol atall??

[nutcase1978]

Ruddy great song and reminds me of when i was a young boy when my father would sing this song to me back in the early 80s

[treebarkjacket]

You need to learn your 'no' from 'know' and when to use them

[g0atmaster]

Should read '"yon' wurzel tree" as in yonder, not "your" !!

[broomboi]

@g0atmaster They just making it simple for everyone to read :)!

[Nayavlos]

Somerrrrset!

[blueparrot10]

fantastic....i always thought they were great!

[markrskinner]

There's no apostrophe in sees.

[robbiewazup]

[TheTwoHunters]

@robbiewazup Too Right!

[RichBooton69]

[Masheded999]

[darkseeker656]

[Andromeda907]

Makes me miss home :( Sucks to be 90 miles away in Southampton for Uni. Though its fun to confuse people by saying "gurt lush" :)

[Hardrada88]

@Andromeda907 Hey i want to move back to southampton..uni was fun :) but i'm a country lad and cities don't agree with me..how's 'dungeon"? and how was carnage? haha. have a good ol'time mate

[63tinks]

[TheTwoHunters]

Good ol bit of west Country music!

[BRB134]

@vdubin good for u i am from Devon

[Vdubin24]

Good Ol Wurlzels :) I live like 20 miles away from em :')

[stuey2ey]

9 people disliked because a blackbird has continuously and mercilessly thwarted their efforts.

[OoxBethany]

Oh I love the fact that I was born in the West, Bristol through and through! ;')

[jones6620]

welsh and proud of it but west country music is outstanding relaxing 1st class

[The1stCookie]

gr8 song ur lyrics are wrong m8

[pelletGUNguy]

he got the lyricks rong not he turnd around he starts to raw

[YamaBushi74]

And it's How's 'e fadder...strong west country accent makes it hard to hear. Never worry about not being able to hear everything hahaha

[YamaBushi74]

Some amendments to your lyrics (west country English is difficult).

Chorus is Where be a blackbird to, I know where 'e be, he be up yon wurzel tree and I be after 'e, now I sees 'e, and 'e sees I, bugger'd if I don't git im, with a girt big stick I'll knock im down, blackbird, I'll have thee.

2nd verse is not a fruitful but a tuneful song.

3rd verse is aim (not aimed) and that bloody blackbird starts his row.

4th No longer can I sleep at night, get peace of any kind and preying and by-and-by :-)

[0866trainsEWS]

i love there song

[MrCorycook]

[JoJoUK2000]

Pity about the words... half of them are wrong! :-)

[CatKebbab]

wicked, love it.

[nicktrueman8]

I think, like myself... you have to be a west country lad/lass to fully understand the lyrics to this great scrumpy and western tune!

[jsabbath01]

@nicktrueman8 agreed im not from the west country but my mums from weymouth in dorset then moved to taverstock, devon and her family is originally from liskeard cornwall where are you from??

[Krazydave9]

@jsabbath01 no mate its just you

[jsabbath01]

@Krazydave9 nope actually its me JoJoUK2000, Grizzly01, Crackerzz, riverside1reed, Archaon6044 and emmiepop2008 and more have all comented with corrections

[nicktrueman8]

@jsabbath01 I'm from a small farming town in south west Wiltshire.

[jsabbath01]

its 'buggered' not 'bugger' and its not 'i'll be' its 'i be'

[Krazydave9]

@jsabbath01 whats the point in even saying that

[Grizzly01]

@Krazydave9

the point is that most of these lyrics are either not quite right or just plain wrong.

001joe002 could definitely do better.

[jsabbath01]

@Krazydave9 because it annoys me when people get stuff wrong i was just making a polite correction

[Krazydave9]

@jsabbath01 it annoys me when people make pointless corections when it is blantantly obvious everybody knows what the words mean

[jsabbath01]

@Krazydave9 well everyones doin it on this vid so erm tough

[Crackrzz]

it's also "no longer can I sleep at night..."

[Crackrzz]

starts 'is row... not turns around...

[graybus]
