Does anybody have lyrics to 'there was an old man of Waltham cross' or any alternate verses to this tune. I have heard there is a much lighter set of verses but never actually heard them....


BTW, weelittledrummer
that medley with Danny Boy, and men of harlech and Early one morning just athe sun was rising. They tend to wake me up.
Is actually Sir Henry Woods "Fantasia on british sea songs", and is played at every last night of the Proms now. And I think is quite fun. If you're awake at 5.28 am, when it starts, then you either have be up sharpish to do something, or can't sleep, so might as well give up and do something useful.
