traditional a spring equinox song
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
[CHORUS]
|
||
|
|
HERE'S ONE TWO THREE JOLLY LADS
|
||
|

|
||

|
|
UNTIL THE NEXT YEAR
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
AND THE FIRST THAT COMES IN IS LORD NELSON, YOU'LL SEE
|
||
|
|
WITH A BUNCH OF BLUE RIBBONS TIED ROUND BY HIS KNEE
|
||
|
|
AND THE STY ON HIS BREAST IT LIKE SILVER DOES SHINE
|
||
|
|
AND I HOPE HE REMEMBERS IT'S PACE EGGING TIME
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
[CHORUS]
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
AND THE NEXT THAT COMES IN IS HIS LORD FALLENWOOD
|
||
|
|
AND HE FOUGHT WITH LORD NELSON TILL HE SHED HIS BLOOD
|
||
|
|
AND HE'S COME FROM THE SEA, OLD ENGLAND, TO YOU
|
||
|
|
AND HE'S COME A PACE EGGING WITH THE WHOLE OF HIS CREW
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
[CHORUS]
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
THE LAST THAT COMES IN IS OLD TOSSPOT, YOU'LL SEE
|
||
|
|
HE'S A VALIENT OLD MAN AND EVER HE'D AGREE
|
||
|
|
HE'S A VALIENT OLD MAN AND HE WEARS A PIGTAIL
|
||
|
|
AND ALL HIS DELIGHT IS IN DRINKING STRONG ALE
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
[CHORUS]
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
COME LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, SIT BY THE FIRE
|
||
|
|
PUT YOUR HANDS IN YOUR POCKETS AND GIVE US OUR DESIRE
|
||
|
|
PUT YOUR HANDS IN YOUR POCKETS AND TREAT US ALL RIGHT
|
||
|
|
IF YOU'LL GIVE NOT, WE'LL TAKE NOT
|
||
|
|
FAREWELL AND GOODNIGHT
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
