Anyone know the origin of this?

It's a somewhat "impolite" rhyme but there's a few versions of it:

 

Where 'ere 'ee be,

Let the wind blow free,

For it wath the wind,

Tthat killeth me. That was supposed to be an epitaph on a grave stone.

 

Another version is:-

 

Where'er thee be,

Let the wind blow free.

In Church or Chapel,

Let it rattle.

 

Anyone got any ideas?



It's life Jim, but not as WE know it.
Live long and prosper.

It's on a person's grave stone whom died from trapped wind apparently

It always makes me wonder why people resurrect an eight year old thread without reading what's already been said?

Maybe they didn't notice the date? I've almost posted on a thread that was last posted on years ago that was on the front page at the time

Lots of us did this even when the boards were busy, back in the day. I'm an infrequent visitor nowadays and forget how few new posts there are compared to before. Personally, I appreciate anyone joining in 👍 and I'd spend more time here if more joined
