Thread Name: Lyr/Tune Req: Drake's Drum
Subject: RE: Lyr/Tune Req: Drake's Drum
"Drake is his hammock..." Was one of the songs I remember singing in a school festival in 1946 or 1947. It was held in Northwood Middlesex and I believe was a revival of of a pre war festival. I was about 9 yrs old and was chosen to be in the choir from Lady Bankes Junior School in Ruislip. I can just about remember the tune and some of the words. I haven't been able to find the music but the words are on several sites.

We also learnt Vaughan Williams' Linden Lea and Schubert's Trout.
