Big Brave Bill

[Verse 1]
Young Jamie Clarke was in Cannon Hall Park
Messing about with a laugh and a lark
When all down the valley the rain forced the flood
Young Jamie was a goner, neck deep in the mud
But here's Bill, Bill with a rescuing plan
And it’s Bill, Bill and he saved the young man

[Chorus]
Big Brave Bill from Barnsley he came
Big Brave Bill from the mine
Big Brave Bill, we'll remember his name
The hero who drinks Yorkshire Tea all the time

[Verse 2]
Thomas B. Grindle worked in Carlton Main
Proud as can be of his part in the chain
But oh, woе betide on this terriblе day
When a prop in the shaft underground it gave way
But here's Bill, Bill with his hero strength eyes
And he’s burned deep and now Tom sees blue skies

[Chorus]
Big Brave Bill from Barnsley he came
Big Brave Bill from the mine
Big Brave Bill, we'll remember his name
The hero who drinks Yorkshire Tea all the time

[Verse 3]
Old Mrs. Dobbins from down the Dearneside
Went to Majorca to take the seaside
Was served a cup of warm water, tea bag on the side
UHT milk, oh, she broke down and cried
But here's Bill, Bill, he's with kettle and proud
We love Bill, Bill came the cheers from the crowd

[Chorus]
Big Brave Bill from Barnsley he came
Big Brave Bill from the mine
Big Brave Bill, we'll remember his name
The hero who drinks Yorkshire Tea all the time
Big Brave Bill from Barnsley he came
Big Brave Bill from the mine
Big Brave Bill, we'll remember his name
The hero who thinks Yorkshire
Hero who loves Yorkshire
Hero who drinks Yorkshire Tea all the time (All the time)

[Outro]
Get a kettle on
