Looks really interesting. when I was a kid we used to go around with a straw man in a cart and collect money. We used to shout "penny for a guy" ...guy being Guy Fawkes, of course. I think we used to throw him on the fire but I can't remember. Yeah, I saw that as well. Looks really interesting. when I was a kid we used to go around with a straw man in a cart and collect money.

The song seemed to have undergone many changes and appears to have many regional variations.

All i can find so far is that this was the second verse that was "traditionally" sung in some parts. Brad, could you say when this was added?

Before that verse was this: Guy Fawkes, Guy Fawkes, 'twas his intent to blow up the King and the Parliament. Three score barrels of powder below, Poor old England to overthrow: By God's providence he was catch'd With a dark lantern and burning match. Holloa boys, holloa boys, make the bells ring. Holloa boys, holloa boys, God save the King! Hip hip hoorah! That is actually the crude addition to the song that was later dropped. Before that verse was this:

Guy Fawkes, Guy Fawkes,
’twas his intent
to blow up the King and the Parliament.
Three score barrels of powder below,
Poor old England to overthrow:
By God’s providence he was catch’d
With a dark lantern and burning match.
Holloa boys, holloa boys, make the bells ring.
Holloa boys, holloa boys, God save the King!
Hip hip hoorah!

A farthing o' cheese to choke him. A pint of beer to rinse it down. A faggot of sticks to burn him. Burn him in a tub of tar. Burn him like a blazing star. Burn his body from his head. Then we'll say ol' Pope is dead. Hip hip hoorah! Hip hip hoorah! Brad, since you mentioned the rhyme on the 5th of November I thought you might want to read the full version:

Good post. As the old muslim saying goes: May god preserve us from the extremists. the evangelicals and the puritans -Christian or muslim -are so terribly alike. I don't know whether to laugh or cry when I come across them! Apparently Jimmy carter's got a book out on just this topic. I wonder how much of the conservative movement in the states is about cultural conservatism though? anyway, I've got a few words on the evos on my post, 'other side of the pond' (blogspot). all hell has broken loose with the pope's rather odd comments and , as usual, quite a few muslims seem all too willing to act in an infantile way. Here we go again.... Brad, hello. Good post.
