(John Tams)
The Wakes coming on and the
bear he took ill
We tried him with potion, with brandy and pill
He died in his sleep at
the eve of the Wakes
The cause, it was said, was strong ale and sweet cakes
The
cheeses of Cheshire are famed, but beware
Of stories they tell of the Congleton
Bear
Congleton Bear, Congleton Bear
They sold the Church Bible to buy a new
bear
He'd served the town well and he's served town true
To lie him in state was the
least they could do
The old bear was dead, a successor they'd need
A new bear was wanted,
and that at great speed
Now a parson is useful in times of great need
And imbibed with
strong porter he quickly agreed
The parson, his Bible he gave then and there
We sold it in
Nantwich to buy a new bear.
The new bear, a she-bear, was toast of the town
To music
and laughter she danced up and down
So loudly the cheering would waken the dead
It caused
the old bear for to rise from his bed
Pills, potion and brandy induced a deep
trance
And refreshed by the music he began for to dance
He danced down the road causing
many a gaze
Word quickly spread that the old bear was raised
He rolled his dark eye as he
spied the she-bear
And with an embrace they danced jigs pair-and-pair
The cheeses of
Cheshire are famed but beware
Of stories they tell of the Congleton
Bear.
