I have posted this today

My Grandma used to play me a whole album of these monologues when I was a small child, I remember really liking the one about I think it was Anne Boleyn with her head tucked underneath her arm and another one called "Uppards." Does anyone have these to post up?

"Up'ards" Part 1 't were getting dusk one winter's night When up the clough there came in sight A lad who carried through the snow A banner with this 'ere motto - up'ards. His face was glum as he did pass, His eyes were shining, just like glass, And as he went upon his way He no'but this 'ere word did say - up'ards. And people sitting down to tea, They heard him plain as plain could be, They thought 't were t' final football score As this 'ere word rang out once more - up'ards.

Part 2

A policeman on his lonely beat,

He stopped the lad up t' end of t' street,

He said "Where 't goin' wi' that there?"

The lad just whispered in his ear - "up'ards".

"Don't go down t' clough, "the policeman said,

"It's mucky road for thee to tread;

t'canal's at t' bottom, deep and wide"

"That's not my road," the lad replied,

"It's up'ards"."

Part 3 A young lass stopped him further up, She said "Come in wi' me an' sup", He said "I'm takin' none o' yon', Besides, I must be gettin' on - up'ards." Next morn' some lads had just begun To tak' their whippets for a run When t' dogs got scrattin' in the snow And found t' flag wi' this 'ere motto - up'ards. That set them digging all around And 't wasn't long before they found A lad whose name they never learned, Whose face was white, whose toes was turned - up'ards.

[Wadsleyite]

Part 4

't were very plain for to behold,

The lad had ta'en his death of cold,

He'd got his feet wet early on

And from his feet the cold had gone - up'ards.

This story only goes to show

That when the fields is white with snow

It's inadvisable to go - up'ards.

Monologue by Marriott Edgar, recorded 1941 (with "Sam Goes To It" on the other side of the record)
