Kenneth how you tarry
On your dilly-dally way
Like an old sheep
On a busy busy farm
And in the winter time
Cobweb on the end of your nose
And in the summertime
Sitting where the shade grows
Cobweb
Cuckoo spit
Kenneth the Hedge
Grandaddy sitting there
Great grandaddy, Great great grandaddy-daddy
Sitting there
In days of old
When days where cold
Kenneth he was sitting there
And in the springtime
Pretty girls hide behind you
And in the autumn time
Leaves fall upon your prickly back
Horsefly
Ivy Leaf

Kenneth the Hedge
Kenneth how you tarry
On your dilly-dally way
Like an old sheep
On a busy busy farm
And in the village pub
Crackling on the fire
And in the village pub
Kenneth making way for the road
Cobweb
Cuckoo spit
Horsefly
Ivy leaf

Morris Dreams

The dawn rises o’er the Morris Men
And the mist it glistens
Round the shapes of the Morris Men
Their haunches tense with Olympic strength
As they trample the earth
Backdrop of the Morris Men
A farmhand walks through the Morris Men
And he sees his brothers
Misty figures in the graveyard
Some schoolboys stare at the Morris Men
But they don’t see nothing
Will they play conkers
On their way to school?
Or will their nuts be
Crushed by the sticks of Morris Men?
Whose blows bring silence
To the trance of the Morris Men
Passing priests shiver past the Morris Men
They clutch their robes about
Will the gather fruit on their way to church?
Or will their plums be
Flattened by the dance of the Morris Men?
A skylark sings o’er a Morris Man
And the world stops turning
Rests on the shoulders of the Morris Men
Restless months
Fragile years
Craving the summer
Yearning the winter
Restless months
Fragile years
Craving the summer
Yearning the winter

We Plough and Scatter
01:29
|
|||
|
We break our bonds and scatter
Our hard work to the winds
So much for peace and friendship
We sling them in the bin
Here’s to our children’s future
The beauty that we made
As we climb aboard this ship of fools
And watch our fortunes fade
All good gifts around us
Are sent from heaven above
So thank the Lord
Oh thank the Lord
For all his love
