This is a song I heard this morning on Radio 4 Extra.


 


It was in a comedy programme called "The Sit Crom", set in the 17th Century, at the time of the English Civil War. With Oliver Cromwell.


 


To the tune of "It's A Long Way To Tipperary", it went something like this:


 


"It's a long way to Saffron Walden,


It's a long way to go,


It's a long way to Saffron Walden,


Where the roads are under snow,


Gooodbye, Newport Pagnell,


Farewell Marston Moor!


And when we get home to Saffron Walden,


We'll give it, what for!"


 


It sounded quite funny on the radio anyway:_|!
