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
