Where is Mr. Kellett's hat?!? You'd think after writing a whole book about it, he'd know the consequences!

Wonderful, sang it many a time in the minibus on the way from Pocklington to play other schools at cricket or rugby in the 80's! Great to hear it explained and not at all surprised that it has the odd Viking word in there. Thankyou.

Visiting otley and ilkley for the cycle races and my grandad mentioned this tune. I guess it was more popular in his time as neither me or my mother had heard of it before

I think you might have to pick it up (used) on Abe, eBay, Amazon or similar. It was published by Smith Settle (who now just do limited hand tooled reprints).

Locally it's known it was originally "On Baildon moor Bhat 'at". Ilkley pinched it, they were far too posh. We had many different versions when I was a lad including "Without tha trousers on" & " Where the ducks play football"

Does anyone know where I can find the old video of an old man speaking in an old Yorkshire dialect? It shows him talking to a man then working in a field, and he describes what he's doing in his dialect, using phrases like "addle some brass". It had about half a million views and was an incredible historical resource. I would happily re-upload it if anyone can find it. Thanks.

Amusingly, בטט batát is Hebrew slang for a fat man, from בטטה batáta ‘sweet potato’. So whenever I hear this song I imagine a fat guy walking around Ilkley Moor.
