It is sung to the hymn tune ‘Cranbrook’, composed by Thomas Clark in 1805; while according to Andrew Gant, the words were composed by members of Halifax [12 miles away] Church Choir ‘some 50 years after Clark wrote his melody’, on an outing to Ilkley Moor.”
Where hast thou been since I saw thee (I saw thee) On Ilkla Moor baht ‘at? Where hast thou been since I saw thee (Where hast thou been since I saw thee) Where hast thou been since I saw thee (Without thy trousers on) On Ilkla Moor baht ‘at? (x3) Thou’s been a courting Mary Jane? Thou’s bound to catch thy death of cold? Then we shall have to bury thee? Then worms’ll come and eat thee up? Then ducks’ll come and eat up worms? Then we shall go and eat up ducks? Then we shall all have eaten thee?
