I Am Nico
master brummie
It isn't Brummie as my Nan's dad, Harry Bridgens, was from Brierly Hill....but he wrote his own songs. Nan had a little black book of them which 'went' when she re married. But as she used to sing them I can just remember one.
I had to Whistle For It. It was about going without and putting up with things, in life.
He went without a smoke, and a kiss and being alone with a lady and
I remember the chorus......
Oh I had to whistle for it,
I had to go without,
I Had to Whistle for it
In that there is not doubt,
I thought I'd get one but you see I didn't quite secure it,
And thought I was dyeing for that kiss/smoke,
I had to Whistle for It.
