GUEST,MCP Lyr Req: One Evening in Summer (9) Lyr Add: AN EVENING IN SUMMER (Graeme Miles) 29 Oct 04


Sorry I've only just looked at this thread - I'd assumed it was for a different song. Here it is from one of my song folders(looking at which made me realise how much I'd altered it to the version I sing these days!)

AN EVENING IN SUMMER
(Graeme Miles)

Over yon hill now the sun's coming down
And the elm tree's long shadow creeps over the ground.
Now the farmer he's finished a-mowing his grass
And it's time for a young man to go court his lass.

Chorus:
  In an evening in Summer,
  In an evening in Summer
  In an evening in Summer,
  Late on in June.


Let into The Crown now for to swallow a jar.
Let's put the world right as we prop up the bar.
Let's crack our sides laughing at a thumping good tale.
Let's sing a loud chorus in praise of strong ale.

Let's talk about cricket and that knock by young Squires.
What price by next season he'll be capped for the Shire.
But we won't forget Jonesie who won us the match
When he ran from the covers to take that fine catch.

Now the old clock's sneaked round now and the landlord's called time
And we'll make our way homewards, or at least we will try.
But we all go the same way so together we'll keep
And we'll all help each other to stay on our feet.
