Great description and song thanks for taking the time to explain

Thanks for the memories, retired postie

Great song! Thank you for it!

What an amazing masterpiece 😍👏

It really has nothing to do with 'a pagan fertility rite'. This is a May Day Garland custom as would have been found all over England - with added hobby-horses (they probably originally came out at Christmas but moved to May at some point in the late 18th century).

Well done C B.

Was looking for a video with lyrics thanks for posting them

😑 "Promo sm"

🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 Nice one

Well sung Graham, if it was me singing I’d need to wear tight underpants to get the registers you do…. All the best from sunny Stretford,Manchester UK

hello; I am writing a folklorist's report upon the submerged bells, and I would like to cite your work as an example of contemporary interests. are the lyrics available any where?

Thanks Graham! This will be a great addition to our playlist for our senior/assisted living gigs.

what state is this?

Wow!😍

Love this Graham.😍

From what I understand this album contains a song "Mister Major." I heard Dave perform this song in a club back in '79. I can NOT find this song posted ANYWHERE. If someone reads this, has this album, and can PLEASE post this song I would really appreciate it...if only for reviving an old memory. Thanks!

One night when travelling sheep, my companions lay asleep There was not a star illuminate the sky I was dreaming I suppose, for my eyes were partly closed When a very strange procession passed me by First there came a kangaroo with a swag of blankets blue A dingo ran beside him as his mate They were travelling mighty fast but they shouted as they passed We'll have to jog along, it's getting late The pelican and the crane they came in from off the plain To amuse the company with a Highland fling The dear old bandicoot played a tune upon his flute And the native bears sat round him in the ring The drongo and the crow sang us songs of long ago The frilled necked lizard listened with a smile The emu standing near with his claw up to his ear Said, Funniest thing I've heard for quite a while Well The frogs from out the swamp where the atmosphere is damp Came bounding in and sat upon the stones For They each unrolled their swags and produced from little bags The violin, the banjo and the bones The goanna and the snake and the adder wide awake With an alligator danced The Soldier's Joy In the spreading silky oak the jackass cracked a joke And the magpie sang The Wild Colonial Boy Some brolgas darted out from the tea-tree all about And performed a set of lancers very well The parrot green and blue gave the orchestra its cue To strike up The Old Log Cabin in the Dell I was dreaming I suppose, for these entertaining shows But it never crossed my mind I was asleep Till the boss beneath the cart woke me up with such a start Yelling, Prithee me, tell me where are all your sheep. These are the lyrics I learned. Can't really say what's right with these old ballads, but this one feels more Australian with references to more Aussie wildlife and the old language. Nice singing anyway.

This is lovely...

Hope all goes well for her at the vets Graham🙏🏼🐾❤️

Glad to hear this gentle rendering of a great trad English song I've not heard since I myself was a boy - did it use to introduce a BBC radio farming programme too? Maybe that was The Curly- Headed Ploughboy, anyway,thanks,and for the print lyrics. I had holiday jobs on market gardens and used to think of this in all sorts of condtions- planting spring cabbage in the heat,sickling round young Xmas trees in the wet,heaving grain sacks and sweeping elevators.

Very nice. Maddy Prior should be paying you royalties.

Luvvit

Graham my husband used to play and sing this to me in the 60’s. Thank you. Brought back poignant memories.💕

One of my favorites Graham.😍

Such a charming performance. One of my all time favorite pieces I have performed in band. Your style is so close to the original recording of this song and my favorite that I have listened to. Thank you for sharing it

Never heard this one before Graham.👏🏼

No sound?

Hey, whats the chords?

I met his wife over here several years ago she was on holiday. She introduced us to transcendental meditation!

Fun Graham thank you! 🍥
