Subject: RE: Songs for St Georges Day
I suppose Puff the Magic Dragon would be right out.
Mother used to sing a little hymn that went;
To the knights in the days of old
Came the watch on the mountain high.
Came the challenge of Holy Grail.
And the voice that was heard to cry.
Chorus: Follow follow! Follow the gleam.
Banners of worth
O'er all the earth.
Follow follow follow the gleam, to the knight that shall greet the day.
And we who would serve the king,
and loyally him obey.
**************
Then the voice is still heard today.
Follow follow follow the gleam.
Banners unfurled, o'er all the world.
follow follow follow the gleam, to the knigh that will great the day.
I suppose that would work. Perhaps some other mudder can supply the tune and missing line.
St. George is also the Patron Saint of Barcelona. Segovia?
