Barbara Dickson - I'll Take Care Of Thee lyrics

George/Miners : Yorkshiremen are England's finest England's finest that is clear. Yorkshiremen are strong and decent Yorkshiremen can take their beer. Yes, we can take our beer We'll take care of thee. We'll take care of thee. Young Viv : Eck, it's me dad. Matt : Shall I introduce meself? Young Viv : Don't be so daft, Matt, just bugger off quick. George : Viv, la**! Who's that with you? Is it a lad?! Young Viv (to Matt) : Bugger off! George : How many times must I tell thee? Yorkshire lads are mucky ba*tards Dirty, mucky ba*tards all. Keep your hand upon your ha'penny Else you're riding for a fall. You're riding for a fall I'll take care of thee I'll take care of thee. I'm strong as an ox I'm tough as old boots I'm fitter than any lad. They're not worth a light There's not one around Who'll love thee like your dad. I'll take care of thee. D'you know my daughter, boys? Isn't she a beauty? Miners : Castleford girls There's none that are finer. Castleford girls A sight to behold. Castleford girls Look after their fathers. You're never lonely when you're old With Castleford girls around. Viv : The summers were longer. The beer tasted stronger. Those Castleford nights Could get quite continental, When we danced the conga. All : Laughing, talking, dancing in the streets, Sing songs, ding-dongs, dominoes and darts. Front doors open wide like people's hearts. Viv : No video No satellite To keep you glued To telly all night. Quite happy though We lived on tick Or is the mem'ry Playing a trick on me? The roads weren't congested, The yobs got arrested. Your children could go out and play in the street Without being molested. Girls : Castleford girls Look after each other. Castleford girls Look after their own. Castleford girls Are just like a fam'ly. You'll never have to be alone With Castleford girls around. Viv : I remember the time when Billy Barstow died k**ed down the mine And ev'rybody cried. Young apprentice he was Weren't no more than a lad We all had a whip round for his mam and dad. United in sorrow as we were in joy And ev'ry mother thought That could be my own boy. Oh Billy, poor Billy Who'll take care of thee. Who'll take care of thee now tha's gone. George/Miners : Yorkshiremen can tell a story Tales to make you laugh or cry. Yorkshiremen cannot be beaten Lancashire, we'll black your eye. Yorkshiremen will stay in Yorkshire Yorkie boys until we die. George : I'll take care of thee I'll take care of thee. I'm solid as rock A tower of strength. Mother: You're drunk as a lord You're thick as two planks. And I'll take care of thee ... All : Yorkshiremen are England's finest England's finest, that is clear. Yorkshiremen are strong and decent Yorkshiremen can take their beer. Yes, we can take our beer We'll take care of thee We'll take care of thee!
