Thread Name: What are they singing in English Pubs?
Subject: RE: What are they singing in English Pubs?
Have just returned from an evening when the Gloucestershire Morris entertained the locals in a pub. The songs we sang included:
The Fox, the Nutting Girl, Martin said to his man, Sweet Nightingale, Underneath the Spreading Chestnut Tree, the Keeper, Show me the way to go home, Now is the hour, When Father papered the parlour, South Australia, Kind Friends and Companians, plus a few jigs and reels and some singalong stuff (Daisy, etc).

It seemed to do the trick and the landlord thanked us all at the end.

I mention this as it seemed to me a typical English pub sing-song.
