Old West Country Song

[Blades_fan]

Does anyone know an old West Country Song with the chorus,Hows Yer Father....Alright?

I remember my late dad taking us to a pub in Beer in Devon years ago when we were kids and all the locals were having a sing-song in the pub and this was one of the songs that they were singing.

Thanks in advance.

Are you sure that they weren't singing 'Knees Up Mother Brown'? It ends with exactly the words you've quoted:

The Blackbird Song by The Wurzels.

Where be it Blackbird to,
I know where 'ee be,
'Ee be up yon wurzel tree and I be after 'ee,
Now I sees 'ee and 'ee sees I,
Buggered if I don't get 'im,
With a gert big stick I'll knock 'im down,
Blackbird I'll 'av 'ee
(La la la la la la, la la la la la la) How's 'ee Father? Alright
