Ilkley Moor Baht 'At

[maurice]

He won't catch his death of cold baht 'at, he's got strong body heat and sensory issues, probably an aspie. and Why do you still say thou in Yorkshire? The loss of 2-layered words for you is supposed to be English's proudest egalitarian boast compared to the continental lingos.

[TykeLad101]

tyke an proud o' it! white rose forever!

[romanbrough]

I think it was River Ranch in Washington State. They have an "approved sogbook" and can only use songs from that with no deviation.

[brssgirl]

[wiggy1988]

Lancashire tune

[barukkhazaddum]

Ilkley is in Yorkshire...

[wiggy1988]

aye but the people that wrote the song came from Lancashire...as is my understanding.

[Gostellow]

@wiggy1988

They're reported to have come from Halifax, West Yorkshire - hence the dialect the song is written in...

[adamhusky1]

yorkshire all the way!!!

[xstarlyricsx]

yorkshire!!!

but thats no yorkshire accent.Have a thick yorkshire accent myself

[emzngemz]

<3 love this!!! sang this at my explorer camp! brings back good memories :)

[1996cjtg]

I love been a Yorkshire-man. I find it very insulting when people say we talk funny.

[romanbrough]

My daughter has spent the summer at one of those kids summer camps in America. They have version of this, a sanitised, Americanised version. At the final campfire thay sang this, She then stood up, in front of hundreds of Yanks, and told them off in no uncertain terms for singing her "State song" wrongly. Made me proud to be her Dad. They told her later they thought her "speach" was the best bit of the night.

[throovest]

Brill. Give her a big kiss from me! She's got the measure of what this is abart

[mjhartlebury]

good lass :D

[MrDinosaurify]

@romanbrough My youth group sings the proper version at camps :)

[imfeelinfatandsassy]

@romanbrough What was the name of the summer camp?

[imfeelinfatandsassy]

@romanbrough What was the name of the summer camp?

[TykeLad101]

[TykeLad101]

@romanbrough

by Heart? WTF?

[northwest500]

Good song ....but definately not a yorkshire accent..........yorkshire born and yorkshire bred, strong intarm and thick intyed.

[Martinio567]

YORKSHIRE !! lets be proud to be yorkshire and british!!

[yorksmilkchurns]

no way we are not british JUST YORKSHIRE

[wankmyhorseplz]

The English translation is:

Where have you been since I saw you?

On Ilkley Moor Without a Hat

I've been courting (dating) Mary Jane

You'll catch your death of cold

Then we'll have to bury you.

Then the worms will eat you up.

Then the ducks will eat up the worms.

Then we'll come eat up the ducks

And then that's where we'll get our own back.

[dixon554]

ha..the "english" translation...made me laugh

[FilmsInLuckMaySuck]

[petewhitehouse99]

Yorkshire accent? Like hell.

[throovest]

The accent is Brummy. Comments passim refer

[lemontop12]

i get every word... it's yorkshire country stuff! we were actually taught this at school!

[paddywack1995]

[throovest]

Absolutely

[mralanv]

iam from yorkshire - leeds n dont understand owt o' the songs lyrics...........gimme a break this sooooo daft

[throovest]

Me neither, except Thursdays are a good colour

[airponcho]

You give our Leeds a bad name.

[JimSaxton]

Hahahahaha.

[throovest]

Brummie. It's avant garde

[dinastein44]

Who's singing this? Definitely not a Yorkshire boy!

[RustyNormandale]

From an American standpoint, the banjo sounds quite like our folk music might use. Kinda like Cotton-Eye Joe by Rednex.

[3shiftgtr]

RustyNormandale-The Rednex tune you speak of uses a keyboard sample of a banjo. And Cotton Eyed Joe is a bluegrass tune (not folk) and Rednex did a dance version of it. And it isn't folk either.

[Loki0115]

I remember my father singing that quite often. It's a really amusing folk-song.

[phospheratu]

I used to sing this at school.LOL

[brightyellowjeans]

It's well sung, but the recording is not very good. It needs more voice.

long live tradition

[ALBIONTYKE]

Just looked up your profile. Ok your not exactly a southerner but near enough hence the posh words in your attempted song.

PS Have you heard the one about the bloke from Solihull who went into a taylors shop for a new suit. The salesman said to him "very smart indeed sir, would you like a kipper tie to go with that?" The solihill bloke said " Aw thanks, milk & two sugars please mate ! lol - All tongue in cheek. Where would we be if we couldnt laugh at ourselves ? cheers.

[throovest]

Lovely gag. Old. But lovely

[ALBIONTYKE]

Terrible attempt at A Yorkshire dialect. Clearly this guy sounds like a soppy southerner. ie "borh tat" IT'S BAH TAT !which means "without a hat" !

[TykeLad101]

@ALBIONTYKE

its also "Ilkla Mooar", not "Ilkley Moor"!

[sirpat1066]

Psychologists found that the Yorkshire accent has overtaken the queens english as the dialect most commonly associated with wisdom and intellect I say now't more.

[throovest]

Quite right, too!

[harkerossett]

This is awesome. Proud to be Yorkshire.

[gazbev]

You are Yorksire?Are you proud of the schools there?Ha

[djdarlo]

there is only 1 true yorkshire languge and that the one of barnsley

tom from briley grimthorpe

[redmilkcrate]

I'm a Yorkshire lad and grew up looking at Ilkley Moor from my bedroom window. Cheered me up no end that, reminded me of home sweet home.

[7wa77]

great old song ,but did ye know this is also the original tune for while shepherds watched their flocks by night.

[LiLElLaXx]

lol we sung this in music .. i liked it =D

[throovest]

Brill!! Keep up the good work!

[blueboyju]

ive heard a better yorkshire accent on people from wales. good try though. from julian in west yorkshire.

[throovest]

You need to hear a bit more Throovest to understand what this is about...... Honest!

[IK1690]

They sound like cockneys!

[throovest]

I'm Brummy, actually

[IK1690]

my apologies!

[throovest]

Frankly, you're very astute. All the radio commercials that are 'Chas and Dave' are actually me

[abennettgolf]

yorkshire for independence!
