Rumble Ow!
For we were up as soon as any day, O!
And for to fetch the Summer home,
The Summer and the May, O!
For Summer is a-come, O!
And Winter is a-gone, O!
Where are those Spaniards,
That make so great a boast, O?
They shall eat the grey goose feather,
And we will eat the roast, O,
In every land, O,
The land where'er we go.
With _Halantow, &c._
As for Saint George, O,
Saint George he was a Knight, O!
Of all the Knights in Christendom,
Saint Georgy is the right, O!
In every land, O,
The land where'er we go.
With _Halantow, &c_.
God bless Aunt Mary Moses,
And all her powers and might, O,
And send us peace in merry England,
Both day and night, O,
And send us peace in merry England,
Both now and evermore, O!
With _Halantow, &c_.
THE FURRY-DANCE TUNE
[Illustration: THE FURRY-DANCE TUNE (Sheet Music)]
The simple air only of "The Furry Dance" is given here. It was probably
originally played by a musician on the pipe, accompanying himself on the
tabor.
Remote Cornwall is still full of queer old customs and survivals of
other days. Helston, the "Metropolis" of that picturesque wild district
near the Lizard, forms a perfect setting for this interesting relic of
the past, and an ideal centre for those who wish to enjoy the beauties
and mystery of one of the most remote corners of our island.
