🗒 Dancing At Whitsun🗒
It's fifty long springtimes since she was a bride
But still you may see her at each Whitsuntide
In a dress of white linen and ribbons of green
As green as her memories of loving
The feet that were nimble tread carefully now
As gentle a measure as age will allow
Through groves of white blossoms by fields of young corn
Where once she was pledged to her true love
The fields they stand empty the hedges grow free
No young men to turn them nor pastures to see
They’ve gone where the forests of oak trees before
All given their lives up in battle
Down from the green farmlands and from their loved ones
Marched husbands and brothers and fathers and sons
There's a fine roll of honour where the Maypole once stood
And ladies go dancing at Whitsun
There's a straight row of houses in these latter days
All covering the downs where the sheep used to graze
There's a field of red roses a gift to be seen
That ladies remember at Whitsun
And ladies go dancing at Whitsun

This is great, thanks for posting. The only other version I'd heard before was Tim Hart & Maddy Prior's from their "Summer Solstice" LP. I'd never heard of the Dublin City Rambler before, thanks for the introduction. Wonderful musicians.
