We met Sergeant Upper and Corporal Pride,
The day bein’ Christmas morning.
Fail…you have the lyrics in the wrong order
its:
oh me and my cousin one Arthur McBride as we went walking down by the seaside
mark know what followed and what did betide for it being on Christmas morning
It’s Sergant Napper and Corperal Vamp as well
I don’t like cricket yeah oh no…
i love it!
The actual song goes like this puke. Paul Brady changed it.
Version 1
I had a first cousin called Arthur McBride,
He and I went a walkin’ down by the seaside;
In search of good fortune and what might betide,
It was just as the day was a’dawnin’.
After restin’ we both took a tramp,
We met Sergeant Harper and Corporal Cramp,
Besides the wee drummer, who beat up the camp,
With his row-dee-dow-dow in the morning.
Version 2
Twas me and me cousin one Arthur McBride,
As we went a walkin’ down by the seaside;
We met Sergeant Upper and Corporal Pride,
The day bein’ Christmas morning.
“Good mornin’, good mornin’” the Sergeant did cry;
“And the same to you gentlemen” we did reply;
Intendin’ no harm, we just meant to pass by;
The day bein’ pleasant an charmin’
Brady changed the words to what you have but the song goes way back. Your actually quoting an altered version, not one of the originals.So go fuck yourself.
- The Planxty version is best.
- The Puke has a serious horn for Paul Brady
Please post a youtube video of him singing said version, I can throw up loads of him singing my version of it
:lol:
That’s what he said you clown

2. The Puke has a serious horn for Paul Brady[/quote]
guilty as charged
Who Brady? I just said he has a different version you pillock.
He didn’t write it like he just changed words from the original.
ooops, my bad…that version he has up sounds shite
That’s a back track of FARMER proportions.
wow wow wow, go easy I ain’t as big a cunt as farmer
In fairness nobody could be as big a cunt as that elongated freak.
By Pukes reasoning as long as I sing one version of the song all other versions are wrong.
I move that in future the verse should read
And although the Puke always seems single and free,
He has no choice but his own company,
In fairness julio put up the original, i won’t dispute that, I am far more aware of Paul Brady’s version which most would agree is the definative version of it…A breakdown in communication is all it was and I would like to apologies to young julio if i causwd him any distress
Very magnanimous of you Puke.
But the Planxty version is the definitive.
Climb down accepted
We will agree to differ…According to goole Arthur McBride Planxty shows up 4,580 results while Arthur McBride Paul Brady shows up 54,800 results…Far better known and would be seen as the definative version
