Tommy Lisle be behind it!
He boarded the Christian ship and disappeared. Although some say that he was born again!
He was last spotted off the Cornish coast, sporting a new iron leg...
Lyrics
Well when a 'was a little bairn so my mammy told me Tommy
Ha'way had away o 'had away Tom
That if I was to work the fields my boots they'd get all clarty Tommy
Ha'way had away o 'had away Tom
Ha'way had away is that a spliff ya rolling Tommy?
Ha'way had away o 'had away Tom
Now first I met a Sunderland lass and she drank all my money Tommy
Ha'way had away o 'had away Tom
And then I met a Cornish girl she was all cream tea's and pasties Tommy
Ha'way had away o 'had away Tom
Then I did move to Durham Town twas in the jail they put me Tommy
Ha'way had away o 'had away Tom
It was there I met a sailor man he showed me his tattooed arsehole
Ha'way had away o 'had away Tom
I was released from Durham Jail and press ganged out to sea now Tommy
Ha'way had away o 'had away Tom
Ha'way had away I'm bound for better weather Tommy
Ha'way had away o 'had away Tom
Well Tommy Lisle's a decent man he comes from Ryhope Colliery Tommy
Ha'way had away o 'had away Tom
Now God forgives his Christian men but the Jews he gives the money Tommy
Ha'way had away o 'had away Tom
Ha'way had away is that a spliff ya rolling Tommy?
Ha'way had away o 'had away ta Jarra
