Dont Dilly Dally on the Way--The Cock Linnet Song is a song by Fred Leigh and Charles Collins. This performance is from an British LP issued in the 1960s.brWe had to move away cause the rent we brcouldnt pay. The moving van came round brjust after dark. There was me and my old brman, shoving things inside the van, which brwed often done before, let me remark.brWe packed all that could be packed in the brvan and thats a fact, and we got inside all brwe could get inside. Then we packed all we brcould pack on the tailboard at the back tilbrthere wasnt any room for me to ride.brMy old man said, Follow the van-- brand dont dilly dally on the way! brOff went the cart with the home brpacked in it. I walked behind with brme old cock linnet. But I dillied and brdallied, dallied and dillied--lost the brvan and dont know where to roam.brI stopped on the brway to have the brold half-quartern,brAnd I cant find brmy way home.brI gave a helping hand with the marble brwash-handstand, and--straight!--we wasnt brgetting on so bad. All at once the carman brbloke had an accident and broke--well, the brnicest bit of china that we had. brYoull understand, of course, I was cross brabout the loss same as any other human brwoman would. But I soon got over that, brwhat with two-out and a chat cause its brlittle things like that what does you good.brMy old man said, Follow the van-- brand dont dilly dally on the way! brOff went the cart with the home brpacked in it. I walked behind with brme old cock linnet. But I dillied and brdallied, dallied and dillied--lost the brvan and dont know where to roam.brYou cant trust the brspecials like the old-time brcoppers when you cant brfind your way home.brAll together now.
