Donny Manson,
by W T Lyall.
Donny Manson plays an sings
Wi whistle an' Guitar
Donny'll gie ye all a fling
In any Hall or Bar.
Fifty years he's sang an' played
An effortless music giver,
A skilled exponent o' his trade
Still goin' as good as ever.
Ai ''County'' an' ai ''Wellington'' Band
Bring memories back till many
They played at Denner Dances Grand
An' well worth every penny.
Katy McNab and Sandy Mat,
Two neimes that ring feh afar
But o' all ai neimes in Donny's Hat
Jack Shearer wis ai star.
'At famous duo did their best
Playin' an' singin' bonny,
For songs wi lilt, an' fun, an' jest
Chuist call up Jack or Donny.
Donny plays wi' no abash,
An' Ruby's never seen
She should be given a special sash
Ai ''Dance Band Widow Queen.''
But play on Donny, yur doin' fine
Yur really worth yur mettle,
Wi need a few more o' yur kind
Till keep us in good fettle.
Ye telt a boygie aboot yur deeds
O' all yur Do's and Dancin'
His quaint reply is all ade needs,
''Good for ye, Donny Manson !''
