Bluehorses - Abertridwr Wyrm lyrics

Young Jonesy went a-fishing, Went a-fishing in the Taff He caught a fish upon his hook, That gave him quite a laff Now what the kind of fish it was, He didn't have a mind But he didn't like the look of it, So he threw it down a mine Now the wyrm got fat and growed and growed, And growed an awful size With great big teeth and a great big gob, And great big goggle eyes And when at night it crawled about, Looking for some booze If it felt dry upon the road, It milked a dozen coo's This fearful wyrm went off to feed, On calves and lambs and sheep And swallowed little babes alive, As they lay down to sleep So Jones set out to catch the beast, And cut it in two halves And that soon stopped it eating babes, And sheep and lambs and calves So now you know how all the folks, Right down my valley dear Lost lots of sleep and lots or sheep, And lived in mortal fear So drink the health of brave old Jones, Who kept the babes from harm Saved cows and calves, by making halves Of that Abertridwr Wyrm
