Thread Name: Lyr ADD: Old Pendle (Milton Allen, Brian Osborne)
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Old Pendle (Milton Allen, Brian Osborne)
Friends from Burnley and Clitheroe requested an extra verse to sing on International Women's Day, so I offered them this;

Pendle, old Pendle, you've seen it before
The hardship of labour, the horror of war
We'll work with our sisters, sunrise to nightfall
To build a new world that is fit for us all

John Jordan arranged The Voice of the People, a Chartist song by WHC. His bass part is very close to the melody of Old Pendle!
