A young man who lived in South Brent
Had wrists so limp that they bent
When he met the marines
All dressed in tight jeans
He said,"Dears this is just heaven sent"

There was an old chap from St.Mewan
Who went for a walk at Pentewan
He followed the map
But lay down for a nap
And mistakenly got to Polruan

There was a young girl from Looe
Who's feet got stuck in some glue
She ranted and raved
Till she went to her grave
And now all that's left is her shoe

A slate miner from Delabole
Fell into the ground,down a hole
Despite breaking his back
He brought up a sack
Of black stuff that he thought was coal

A tailor who lived at Blackwater
Who'd a handsome coquettish young daughter
To relieve their distress
Promised, gratis to press
All the suits of the suitors who sought her

The sunsets you see clear at Bude
Are from the clifftops better viewed
As dawn turns to night
It's a marvellous sight
To see western skies many hued

A gypsy once said in Tremar
"You will travel the Seas and go far"
Now I'm ninety nine
And these old legs of mine
The farthest they've been is to Par!
