GUEST,Nur Soliman - (recorded version)
This was recorded twice by the BBC in the 1950s, once in Sidbury, in Devon, the other in Cumberland (below) - (the recordist "D.W.", I assume was Fr. Damien Webb)
If anybody is still looking for it I can send the Devon recording,

'Have you any bread and wine/
For we are the Romans
Yes, we have some bread and wine/
For we are the English....

Then we will have one of those.../

No you shan't have one of those/
Then we will have two sacksful/No....

Then we'll tell the king of you/

We don't care for the king or you/

Then we'll send our (?) cat/

We don't care for the cat or you/

Then we'll send our dog to fight/

We don't care for the dogs or you/

Are you ready for a fight/

Yes, we're ready for a fight

Now we're on the battlefield/....
SHOOT BANG FIRE'. (This is repeated with gusto after each of the following verses):
