I was reading Alice in Sunderland and my favorite part was the story about the Lambtom Worm. I thought it was interesting how the story of the Lambtom worm helped influence the Jabberwocky poem and maybe even the Lock Ness Monster. I think it was the only real thing that I remebered about the graphic novel. So I thought that I would do a little more research about the story and I found a song I thought that was interesting.

One Sunday mornin' Lambton went

A-fishing in the Wear;

An' catched a fish upon he's heuk

He thowt leuk't vary queer.

But whatt'n a kind ov fish it was

Young Lambton cudden't tell-

He waddn't fash te carry'd hyem,

So he hoyed it doon a well
ChorusWhisht! lads, haad yor gobs,

An' aa'll tell ye aall an aaful story,

Whisht! lads, haad yor gobs,

An' Aa'll tel ye 'boot the worm.
Noo Lambton felt inclined te gan

An' fight i' foreign wars.

He joined a troop ov Knights that cared

For nowther woonds nor scars,

An' off he went te Palestine

Where queer things him befel,

An varry seun forgat aboot

The queer worm i' the well.
But the worm got fat an' growed an' growed,

An' growed an aaful size;

He'd greet big teeth, a greet big gob,

An greet big goggle eyes.

An' when at neets he craaled aboot

Te pick up bits o' news,

If he felt dry upon the road,

He milked a dozen coos.
This feorful worm would often feed

On caalves an' lambs an' sheep,

An' swally little bairns alive

When they laid doon te sleep.

An when he'd eaten aall he cud

An' he had had he's fill,

He craaled away an' lapped he's tail

Ten times roond Pensher Hill.
The news ov this myest aaful worm

An' his queer gannins on

Seun crossed the seas, gat te the ears

Ov brave an' bowld Sor John.

So hyem he cam an' catched the beast

An' cut 'im in twe haalves,

An' that seun stopped hes eatin' bairns

An' sheep an' lambs an' caalves.

So noo ye knaa hoo aall the foaks

On byeth sides ov the Wear

Lost lots o' sheep an' lots o' sleep

An leeved i' mortal feor.

So let's hev one te brave Sor John

That kept the bairns frae harm,

Saved coos an' calves by myekin' haalve
O' the famis Lambton Worm.
