Thread Name: Lyr Req: Dancers of Stanton Drew (Holland, Parker)
Subject: RE: Stanton Drew,need words
I have the version posted by skw on a 1976 album called "The Cambridge Crofters" by (surprise, surprise) The Cambridge Crofters. The song is there called Stanton Drew (The Dancers of Stanton Drew). The sleeve notes say:
There are three circles at Stanton Drew in North East Somerset called 'The Fiddler and the Dancers'. This stimulated Muriel Holland to write words and Jim Parker music for The Dancers of Stanton Drew.

I have made a midi of the tune they use and sent it to Alan of Oz, so hopefully it should appear there in the near future.
