A jingle written in 1920 by Kenneth Lindsay, at that time an undergraduate but who became a barrister , a K.C. and the Labour MP for Kilmarnock – sung to the tune of “Clementine”
Down in Devon, down in Devon
There’s a village oh so dear
Sure it’s just a bit of heaven
And the angels call it Beer.
Mr. David, the schoolmaster
Is a Jack of every trade
Always shiny like the briny
Sticks to jobs like marmalade
The fishermen will kindly
Take you anywhere for a bob,
Except old (blank blank), their Charlie Chaplin
Who charges eighteen pence without a sob.
The
present version was written in the late 1970s by Mike Green &
Gayle Chapple
Coming up for a centenary!!!
