red max	Songs about the game of Cricket? (72* d)	RE: Songs about the game of Cricket?	19 Aug 03
In Holroyd's Collection of Yorkshire Ballads there's "The Richmondshire Cricketers' Song" by William Swain. It was written in celebration of the visit of the All England cricketers to Richmond in 1857 Ye cricketers of Richmondshire Just list to what I say Don on your cricket toggery For England comes today Gird well your loins as on the course You stand and plaudits meet Prepare you for the tug of war The race is to the fleet Chorus Then bowl away my jolly boys With bias, break or spin And show these noble champions that Richmondshire can win There are 5 more verses and a variation on the chorus. I'm afraid I don't know the tune
