The Terrier Song

[T42 44]

Has anyone got a copy or a video of the terrier song they can post on here? A link to it? Any audio?? I have a very old copy of the lyrics which where given to me as a kid by my uncle and he used to sing it but i have never been able to find a audio copy myself.

Would love to here this again, and i can't be the only one!

Many Thanks

Terrier Song

There’s many a song about hunting, huntsmen are honoured by name,

But there’s never a song about terriers, that in Lakeland have gained lasting fame,

No pedigrees have these brave warriors, their colours no rules can define,

They’re bred for pluck and spirit, with a heart as big as a lion.

Chorus:

So always remember your terriers, protect them from wet and from cold,

For the love of a tyke for it’s master, can never be measured in gold.

Whether he’s rough or smooth coated, he’ll tackle badger, otter or fox,

Run a drain or creep into a soil hole, or squeeze through a grike in the rocks,

Whether it’s Trixie or Nellie, Rock, Jock or Turk it’s the same,

One quality you’ll find amongst them and dalesfolk call it “dead game”

 

He’ll yield not one inch though they maul him, he’ll fight to the death on his own.

Though sometimes he’ll be imprisoned by a rushing of soil or of stone,

Then the brave lad’s of the vallies, to save him will toil day and night,

And join in a halloa of gladness as he blinks back to god’s blessed light.

 

At Crufts famous show down in London, they’ve terriers there not worth their name,

If you show them a fox or an otter, they’ll fly for their lives without shame,

They’re not built to creep or do battle, but to sit on a chair in a house,

And they do say that one recent champion was chased down the road by a mouse.

 

So here’s to our gallant la’al workers, not beauties perhaps but they’ll do,

For with gameness and also affection they’ll make you a pal good and true,

And when your terrier in old age is dying, and things around you seem sad,

Just a lick on the hand will console you for a better friend man never had.

D P Todd

 

Get on it slips.
