Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Songs for Trafalgar Night
Thanks for your enlightenment Walrus!
Drink Old England Dry ~ I think there are two songs, similar but different
One of course is associated with the Haxey Hood game and may well have undergone some changes over time, as Old Churchill now figures in the verses
No one mentioned?
The Pace Egg song, verse "Old Collingwood and he fought with Lord Nelson 'til he shed his blood and he comes from the sea Old England to view and he's come a Pace egging with the whole of his crew"
I believe Collingwood also died at Trafalga
