Hi, I'm looking for the words (and title) to a traditional song whose first verse goes something like: "Come fill up your glasses and let us be merry For to rob, steel, and plunder it is our intent As we rove through the valley Where the lillies and the roses And the beauty of Kashmir lay a drooping his head

Then away, and away, and awa-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay To the cave in yonder mountain where the robbers retreat.

Thanks in advance, David

I think that I heard that verse on a Doors album, however, I am not sure which album.

Steel Eye Span sings that song. I think it may be on "Below the Salt" album.

That's Steeleye Span and it's on their All Around My Hat album. The song's called "Cadgwith Anthem". I think it's credited to "Trad. arr SteeleyeSpan".

If I get time, I'll type in the lyrics (and those I also promised to do for "Rolling Home").

CADGWITH ANTHEM
Trad arranged by T. Hart M. Prior R. Kemp B. Johnson & P. Knight

Come fill up your glasses and let us be merry,
For to rob bags of plunder it is our intent.

CHORUS: As we roam through the valleys
Where the lilies and the roses
And the beauty of Kashmir
Lay drooping his head
Then away, then away, then away
To the caves in yonder mountains
Where the robbers retreat

Hush, hush in the distance there's footsteps approaching
Stand, stand and deliver it is our watch cry. CHORUS

Sorry, there seems to be a problem with the formatting of those lyrics. I put a carriage return at the end of each line so I don't know why. I'm not going to type them in again! The second verse starts with "Hush, hush".
