Reinhard	Lyr Add: Come See the Boys Go Round (Davenport) (3)	Lyr Add: Come, See the Boys Go Round (Davenport)	09 Jan 23
Paul and Liz Davenport sang "Come, See the Boys Go Round" in 2014 on their Hallamshire Traditions album "Wait for No Man". They noted on their album: The longsword dance is not short on songs, mostly of the calling-on variety. Paul wrote this when he realised that there is no song describing the sword dance itself. We have a technical point here. When the dance ends, the swords are ‘tied’ together in various shapes, all of these structures are called ‘locks’. The generic six-pointed star variety of lock is most commonly referred to by the old guys, as ‘The Rose’ Melrose Quartet sang "Come, See the Boys Go Round" on their 2019 album "The Rudolph Variations".
