The Lead Miners of Weardale had smallholdings from which they fed their families. This is a skipping song about their produce.
lyrics
THREE ‘P’S
Three ‘P’s in a row,
Three ‘P’s in a row,
It’s these three ‘P’s that help us grow.
Three ‘P’s in a row,
Three ‘P’s in a row,
It’s these three ‘P’s that help us grow.
Me Dad, he plants Po tate-oes,
Po tate-oes, Po tate-oes
Me Dad, he plants Po tate-oes.
One of the ‘P’s is potatoes.
Three ‘P’s in a row,
Three ‘P’s in a row,
It’s these three ‘P’s that help us grow.
Three ‘P’s in a row,
Three ‘P’s in a row,
It’s these three ‘P’s that help us grow.
One of the ‘P’s Is a tree,
Is a tree, Is a tree.
One of the ‘P’s Is a tree,
A tree with feathers and eggs,
Pole-tree, pole-tree,
A tree with feathers and eggs.
Three ‘P’s in a row,
Three ‘P’s in a row,
It’s these three ‘P’s that help us grow.
Three ‘P’s in a row,
Three ‘P’s in a row,
It’s these three ‘P’s that help us grow.
The third ‘P’ has a curly tail,
A curly tail, a curly tail.
The third ‘P’ has a curly tail,
A grunt and a little pink snout,
A grunt and a little pink snout.
A piggy-wig-wig, a piggy-wig-wig,
Our piggy is getting stout.
Three ‘P’s in a row,
Three ‘P’s in a row,
It’s these three ‘P’s that help us grow.
Three ‘P’s in a row,
Three ‘P’s in a row,
It’s these three ‘P’s that help us grow.
