The lost art of Horrobinning
by various
 The line "Six Horrobins a-horrobining" in a parody of the Twelve Days of Christmas led to this Rambling Syd Rumpo-esque outbreak in The Fantasy Archers topic of .
I've been the wild Horrobiner for most of my life
And it's never brought nothing but heart-ache and strife
I've lost all my money, my head's feeling sore
And it's never I'll go Horrobining no more
***
Summer is a-Horrobin
Loud now sing Ooooh, nooooo
Groweth weed and drinketh mead,
And digesteth the poo,
Sing Ooooh, nooooo
***
A-horobinning we will go
A-horobinning we will go
We'll catch a deer
To marinade in beer
And never let 'im go.
***
A chap went out on a chilly night
He prayed to the moon to give him light
"I've many a metre to go this night
Before I Horrobino, bino, bino
I've many a metre to go this night
Before I Horrobino."
***
When I was born a Grundy in famous Borsetshire
I was the finest poacher for nigh on twenty year
Till discovered Horrobining as you shall quickly hear
Oh tis my delight on a dim-lit night when I'm feeling rather queer
***
Now I am a bachelor, I live by myself
And I ply the Horrobin trade.
And the only, only thing I ever did that was wrong
Was to Horrobin a fair, young maid.
I Horrobinned her in the wintertime
And in the summer, too
And the only, only thing that I did that was wrong
Was to Horrobin her in the foggy, foggy dew.
***
Once a jolly pigman camped by a Lakey hill,
Under the shade of the Laurel and Elms tree,
And he sang as he watched and waited 'til his things got huge,
"You'll come a-Horrobinning Mildred, with me"
Horrobinning Mildred, Horrobinning Mildred
You'll come a-Horrobinning Mildred, with me"
And he sang as he watched and waited 'til his things got huge,
"You'll come a-Horrobinning Mildred, with me".
***
Hi, baby Grundy, Daddy's gone a-Horrobining,
Gone to get a ferret-skin, to wrap the baby Grundy in,
Hi, baby Grundy.
***
Hi ho, hi ho
It's Horrobinning we go
With a ferret and a pick and a platemeter stick
Horro Bino
