REQ - Mr Punch and Judy man
Webfolk
'Mr Punch and Judy man'?
I was asked to play it last week and got stuck.
I have three verses, but I'm sure there are more.
In my garage,
under almost everything else,
is a box with an album containing this song.
Leon Roselson & Roy Bailey - That's not the way it's meant to be
However, even if I were to 'dig it out' I could not play the album as I no
longer have a record player.
Any help would d be greatly appreciated.
Down the lanes of Foggy chimneys...
In the meadow by the river....
Punchinello, Punchinello....

Punch and Judy Man.
(John Connolly)
Down the lanes of foggy chimmneys, through the little seaside town
Strides the east wind like a dragon, strewing the leaves of ragged brown.
Winter's planting icicles along the barren shore-
And the Punch and Judy man is gone forever...
Mister Punch and Judy man
Time flows like the yellow sand
Bring me back the chidhood land of summers long ago
In the meadow by the river, where the elm and willow stand
Silver mist comes creeping down, to lullaby the land
Through the bare and blackened branches, swallows fly no more
And the punch and Judy man is gone forever
Hear the ghosts of penny arcades jingle jangle on the pier
Gone the sound of laughing children, fading with the dying year
Songs and sunshine leave the world to winter's weary ways
And the Punch and Judy man is gone forever
Punchinello, Punchinello, where have you and Judy gone?
Gone to join the swelling ranks of things that we look back upon
Memories can conjure you from dreams of summer days
But the Punch and Judy man is gone forever
Hope this helps
regards
Jake

<not criticisin> The only version I've heard (and it's good) is Roy Bailey
who I think sings the chorus thus...
Mister Punch and Judy man
Bring me back the childhood land of summer.
The rest is the same.
Djimbo.

rewrote the chorus - as Jake wrote it, though I think it used to be as
Djimbo wrote it. I prefer the original personally.

yes - this was mentioned in here a few months ago, IIRC. I also prefer
the original version myself. There's a good version of it on an old
Tony Capstick album too.
I believe there's a slight mistake in the 2nd line of the 2nd verse
too (also not criticism)- shouldn't it be "... to lullaby the sleeping
land" ?

Quite right, it is indeed -"to lullaby the sleeping land"
Well spotted.
