Number 31 of our 39 'Doin Different 'ballads from Norfolk and the East of England. And from our One Different double album of Norfolk folk ballads https://peacocks-tale.bandcamp.com/album/done-different-2 I don a cassock for the second time in the book to waste good Christian caritas on a defrocked priest (the first being William Sawtrey of Lynn). But whereas Harold Francis Davidson aka Little Jimmy aka the celebrated Vicar of Stiffkey cannot claim to be the 'morning star of the English reformation' he does occupy a revolutionary space in our 39 part folk history, wandering lost in the vastness between The First World War (The Ballad of Edith Cavell) and the ballads about our own lifetimes at 1970s UEA. While nothing could straddle the social and cultural gulf or all the changes of that period - and there was certainly no intention in the original arrangement to do so- there are nevertheless certain imprints of the larger picture. The conflict of Little Jimmy's liberal and permissive music hall heroic lovingkindness with the rigidities of 'Victorian' Christianity was certainly the story of the 1920s and 30s and it was still raging as the Beatles recorded 'Eleanor Rigby' though by then it no longer had the whip hand.
lyrics
The Ballad of Little Jimmy (The Vicar of Stiffkey)
“Harold Francis Davidson (‘Little Jimmy’) was loved by the villagers, who recognised his humanity and forgave him his transgressions. May he rest in peace.” (epitaph in Stiffkey churchyard)

An actor cum rector,
His pulpit his stage,
Generous star of his parish’s
Unlighted age.

Serves his country and king
In the First World War,
Comes home to a wife
Playing the whore.

Spends his weekdays in Soho
With poor girls undone,
25,000 fallen
On the streets of London.

Stiffkey to the Gate
Of the kirk and pearlies,
His trial grips the nation
By the short and curlies.

To the Stiffkey faithful
He’s the open hand;
To the North Norfolk gentry
In the dock he stands.

RANDY RECTOR OF STIFFKEY’s
The Fleet Street shtick;
Bishop Norwich calls in
A muck-raking Dick.

All the fallen absolve him
Save the one Dick decants
Down a bottle of lies
Even she recants.

Stiffkey to the Gate
Of the kirk and pearlies,
His trial grips the nation
By the short and curlies.

The Cathedral Inquisition
Meets to pre-Judge him,
The Snob-jobbing Old Boys
Defrock and degrade him.

He returns to the stage;
At Blackpool he rages,
Pleads his innocence, preaches
To lions in cages.

At Skeggy, he treads on
The big tail of Freddie
The Lion who shakes him
And leaves him for deadie.

The crowd cheers the show
But the show is over
For this people's’ padre,
This Magdalene lover.

Stiffkey to the Gate
Of the kirk and pearlies,
His trial grips the nation
By the short and curlies.
