Now thats a good idea Captain Swing by Graham Moore. Great song
CAPTAIN SWING (G. Moore) Tolpuddle Man
The sun's gone down, the shutters drawn The curfew bell has tolled The fox is lurking round the farm The barn owl's wings unfold In the candle light tonight you might, hear to your alarm The midnight band of Captain Swing as he rides from farm to farm
All over Dorset the flames are leaping high The ricks are burning, who' s the cause? Captain swing not I!
The sheep are safely in the fold The shepherd deeply sleeps The ploughman reels back from his drink Through woods the poacher creeps The squire retires on bed of brass with one thing on his mind If Captain Swing's this way tonight there'll be no corn to grind
The labouring man is on his knees Nowhere can he get hired Since new machines that do the work, the farmer has acquired But how he sweats when he reads the threats on paper morning brings Destroy your gear or else I swear you'll pay Signed Captain Swing
