?Scarborough Jack a vagrant
From the book "Yorkshire Reminiscences" by MCF Morris. 1922. Page 331-2
Many years ago an old man used to come to Fylingdales,where he was known as "Scarborough Jack"; probably he was not quite "all there"; at any rate he went from house to house for alms, and, like many of these vagrants in olden days, was welcomed at several as being part of the established order of things. One day he went to such a house where he had always before been sure of a meal, but since his last visit the occupant had died, and a new face met him at the door, where he had a very ungracious reception. Driven away empty, he relieved his feelings by writing on the door of an outhouse the following:
Good and gracious did live here,
Bud noo she's gone, the Lord knaws wheer!
Prahd an' poverty's cum'd in her steead
An' 'll give poor Jack nowther beef nor bread.
