Harry McCormick, you lived down in Shrigley.
Shrigley, yes, number one woodland crescent.
Yeah, and this song you're going to sing now is called
Farewell to Dear Old Shrigley.
That's right, that's right, yes.
Where did you learn this song?
I learned it in Shrigley.
Uh-huh.
I learned it in Shrigley.
And the modellers used to come there,
they used to be the model there,
and they came from Belfast to work in the spinning rooms.
Yeah.
All the modellers.
And who were the modellers?
They were the girls from Belfast,
you know, they were all young girls.
And they came from Belfast to work in the old spinning mall.
And then they worked the whole week
and they went away on Saturday morning again.
And then come back on Sunday night again.
Well, they stayed in the model all that week, you see.
There was about 14 or 15, maybe more, maybe 20,
and they stayed there the whole week
and they worked in the spinning room.
And then when the week's work was finished,
they got on the junk and car and away to Belfast.
Back to Belfast.
Saturday morning, yes.
And the song's called?
Dear Old Shrigley.
Oh.
Here we go, Frank.
Here we go.
Before he goes away,
I'll make him drunk today
and he'll never see Shrigley anymore.
That's all I knew of it, Bobby.
That's all I knew of it.
I never heard any other verses of it.
