Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Man of Kent (Bob Kenward)
Bob, I'm not sure if I have already contacted you on this one but I'm trying to track down the words of a song I heard 50 years ago with chorus which went:

So let's drink a toast to the windmill and the oast
And the rolling Kentish Weald
To the farmers and their crops
To the cherry trees and hops
And the good brown ale they yield
The sailors and the fishermen
The miners and their trades
And most of all God Bless them, the bonnie Kentish maids.

Can you shed any light on this?

Michael - Man of Kent!
