Subject: RE: Song Req: What song for this sword gig?
You are quite welcome to use the following song I have penned based on the Kirby Malzeard song [Ivor Allpsop –Longsword dances –(ISBN 0-96277554-7-8), in there you will find the original songs and the tune], the beheading song is based on Bob Peggs "Rise up Jock". All you need to do with my rendition, is change the locality to fit with your team and the references to team colours. Just a thought Brian Kell.

Calling on Song

I beg your attention come here what I say
These dancers have come here by chance
From out of the fen they have travelled to day
Intending to give you their dance
Fenland's the place they were all born and bred
All tigers so gallant and true
With their Red, Black and Yellow
And shiny bright swords
A performance they'll offer to you

Chorus
They are all actors bold
Never came on stage before
And they will do their best
And the best can do no more


There leader is one with a deal of respect
The others all follow with pride
They play out their part
And act out their tale
'till one of their number has died
Rise up again Jack like the sun in the morn
To continue the saga once more
They'll finish their tale
Move on without fail
Until they call once again to your door

Chorus

Resurrection Song

Rise up Jack and sing your song
For the summer's short and the winter's long
All join hands and form a ring
And we'll see that spring time blooms again
