Ben J W Anthony - Fish and Tin and Copper (Kernow)

Old nick as he was want to do was wandering up and down
To see what mischief he could brew, and made for Launceston town
For tis fish and tin and copper boys and tre and pol and pen
And one and all we may rejoice that we are Cornishmen
Across the Tamar he had come though you might think it strange
And having left his Devon home tried Cornwall for a change
For tis fish and tin and copper boys and tre and pol and pen
And one and all we may rejoice that we are Cornishmen
Now when to Launceston he grew near skipping o'er the sod
He spied a rustic cottage there with windows all abroad
For tis fish and tin and copper boys and tre and pol and pen
And one and all we may rejoice that we are Cornishmen
And in the kitchen might be seen a dame with knife in hand
Who cut and slashed and chopped away to make a pasty grand
For tis fish and tin and copper boys and tre and pol and pen
And one and all we may rejoice that we are Cornishmen
Good Morning missus what is that, Of all sorts is a daub
Tis beef and mutton pork and fat Potatoes leeks and squab
For tis fish and tin and copper boys and tre and pol and pen
And one and all we may rejoice that we are Cornishmen
A Cornish pasty sure says she and if thou doesn't mind
I soon shall start to cut up thee and put ye in you'll find
For tis fish and tin and copper boys and tre and pol and pen
And one and all we may rejoice that we are Cornishmen
In fear he turned and straight did flee across the Tamar green
And since that day in Cornwall he has never more been seen
For tis fish and tin and copper boys and tre and pol and pen
And one and all we may rejoice that we are Cornishmen
For tis fish and tin and copper boys and tre and pol and pen
And one and all we may rejoice that we are Cornishmen
