BAZ Lyr Req: Merry Mountain Child (13) Lyr Add: MERRY MOUNTAIN CHILD 09 Oct 98


Barbara
Here we go part 2.
Sorry for the delay but we were playing at a pub out in the wilds last night. And secondly, I think someone had previously used the record as a plate for a jam sandwich so I had to wash it (the record that is).

But tell me of that rural cot
Where happy faces smiled
And pleasant voices called me there
And pleasant voices called me there
And pleasant voices called me there
A merry Mountain Child

I've wandered far through many climes
Where dark eyed daughters dwell
And beauty charms a yielding soul
with her resistless spell
with her, with her resistless spell.

Yet oft I've turned my face away
Where youth and beauty smiled
To think of all the joys that blessed
To think of all the joys that blessed
To think of all the joys that blessed
A merry Mountain Child

Then strike thee harp I long to hear
Those merry tales again
O' let me linger oer those stones
That native mountain strain
That native, native mountain strain.

It brings me back those happy times
That bleak and stony wild
Where nature makes me glad to be
Where nature makes me glad to be
Where nature makes me glad to be
A merry Mountain Child.

Just out of interest the rest of the album has the following tracks.

Rolling on the grass
Old Jepson Brown
I bought three pigs at Marsden fair
Water Rattle
Nutting Girl
Powder Monkey
Muffin Man
Farmers dog
Sucking pig
The death of poor Bill Brown
It was night and the moon illuminated the sky
Pace egging song
Christmas goose
Regards Baz
