Eggs And Gammon Lyrics

John Shuttleworth Eggs And Gammon

Ken had some eggs and gammon
At a restaurant in Rhyll
Then he went with his wife, Rhiannon
To the campsite on the hill
The night was very windy
Though outside it was still

Eggs and gammon
Poor Rhiannon
Ken had wind
Eggs and gammon
Poor Rhiannon
Ken’s bad wind

They opened up the tent flaps
But the smell it seemed to stay
So they tightened up the guy ropes
Just in case they blew away
They saw a daddy-longlegs
Get on his knees and pray

Eggs and gammon, etc.

And in the morning
The storm it did subside
Ken went to the doctor’s
And some medicine was prescribed
What of the daddy-longlegs?
Well I’m sorry to say he died

Oh eggs and gammon
Poor Rhiannon
Ken had wind
Eggs and gammon
Poor Rhiannon
Ken’s bad wind – (Oo – pardon me vicar!)
