Songtexte Under the Blasted Oak - George Formby
A
miser
old,
Once
hid
his
gold,
Beneath
a
ruined
tree.
My
girl
and
I,
We
set
out
to
try,
And
find
that
LSD.
The
lightning
flashed,
The
thunder
roared,
The
wind
it
blew,
And
the
rain
it
poured,
As
we
searched
for
the
misers
hoard,
Under
the
blasted
oak.
My
girl
said,
I
feel
damp,
I′ve
got
the
creeps,
And
I've
got
the
cramp,
Standing
here
without
me
gamp,
Under
the
blasted
oak.
That
miser
was
wiser,
Than
ever
I
could
be,
He
blessed
his
wealth,
then
he
blessed
himself,
But
he
put
a
curse
on
me.
I
dug
around
the
fungus
plants,
Bitten
by
a
million
ants,
A
swarm
of
bees
settled
down
my
pants,
Under
the
blasted
oak.
I
said
we′ll
share
equal
shares,
She
caught
my
hand,
And
I
caught
hers,
A
mad
bull
caught
me
unawares,
Under
the
blasted
oak.
My
pants
were
torn
fore
and
aft,
I
got
wild
when
my
girl
laughed,
And
said
I'll
bet
you
feel
a
draft,
Under
the
blasted
oak.
That
miser
was
wiser,
Than
ever
I
could
be,
He
blessed
his
wealth,
then
he
blessed
himself,
But
he
put
a
curse
on
me.
While
searching
for
that
LSD,
A
flock
of
pigeons
in
the
tree,
Soon
showed
me
what
they
thought
of
me,
Under
the
blasted
oak.
Suddenly,
a
silence
fell,
A
ghost
appeared,
I
gave
a
yell,
I
cried
"That
miser's
here
as
well!"
Under
the
blasted
oak.
Then
that
ghost
all
dressed
in
white,
Said
as
he
hugged
my
girl
tight,
"It′s
turned
out
nice
again
tonight"
Under
the
blasted
oak.
That
miser
was
wiser,
Than
ever
I
could
be,
He
blessed
his
wealth,
then
he
blessed
himself,
But
he
put
a
curse
on
me.
To
prove
that
ghost
was
just
a
cheat,
I
gently
lifted
up
his
sheet,
And
kicked
him
in
his
dark
retreat,
Under
the
blasted
oak.
