I'll tell ye aboot the Collingham ghost, An' a rare aud ghost was he; For he cud laff, an' he cud talk, An' run, an' jump, an' flee. He went aboot hither an' thither, An' freeten'd sum out o' thir wits, He freeten'd the parson as weel as the clark, An' lots beside them into fits. The poor aud man wha teak the towl At Collingham bar for monny a year, He dursn't cum out to opp'n his yat For fear the ghost sud be near. He teak to his bed an' there he laid, For monny a neet an' day; His yat was aulas wide opp'n thrown, An' nean ivver stopp't to pay. And Jerry wha kept the public house, An' sell'd gud yal to all, Curs'd the ghost wi' hearty gud will, For neabody stopp'd to call. It made sike a noise all round aboot, That folks com far to see; Sum sed it was a dreadful thing, An' sum sed it was a lee.
