I Wish There Was No Prisons...

Trad Arr Eldon. Performed by Jim Eldon.

"I wish there was no prisons, I do, don't you? And the old treadmill makes me feel ill, I only steal my belly fort to fill, with me hands, with me fists, with me maulers...."

Jim learned this great song from a snippet recorded by George Spicer which resides somewhere in the Topic record label archives. Jim added a couple of verses of his own.

'Love this guy! We came across him on the Yorkshire Belle boat trip from Bridlington and there he was doing just a great job and selling lots of cd's. I bought one too and I'm definitely a fan. 'Hope to see you in Nottingham soon Jim?

Best' Geoff. ~:O)

A true classic & a long time favourite. I remember another verse Jim added:

Down outside the market hall

I once saw a kid nick a trotter off a stall

With his hand, with his fist, with his mawlers.

I said Hey Up, Son! Here comes a copper

So he took to his heels and he dropped the trotter

In me hand, in my fist, in me mawlers...
