Thread Name: Lyr/Tune Add: Helston Hal an Tow
Subject: RE: lyr and tune Helston Hal an Tow
Can I just say - this needs to be updated and corrected.
Between the Spaniard's verse and St George's verse, there is another verse that has been there for several years that goes:

St Piran showed his care for us
And all our son's and daughter's O
He brought the book of Christendom
Across the western waters O
And taught the love of Heaven above to Cornish men below

Also, the Aunt Mary Moses verse IS still sung - at the first performance and the last performance on the day.

Please, take my word as the truth. I have danced the hal an tow for several years and know what I am talking about
Thanks
