Thread Name: Happy St Georges day
Subject: RE: Happy St Georges day
How do all, I was looking for the lyrics to "The New St. George" by Richard Thompson but no-one seems to have them, not even his own site...unfortunately I don't possess the record either so can't work it out for myself...I'm in the Scottish borders and feel I shoukld have had today off esp. as I didn't get Easter Monday or Good Friday...
There is a "Dragon" church near here (Linton Kirk) and a local dragon legend associated with it, the dragonslayer (iforget who) is supposed to have built a huge wheeled lance and rolled it downhill at the serpent, which seems a bit unsportsmanlike really.
Cheers all
