Thread Name: Songs for St Georges Day
Subject: RE: Songs for St Georges Day
To get back to the original subject of the thread....... When I lived in Suffolk on the mid-80s, my daughter's piano teacher got together a ST. George's Day concert, with no less than 33 items on it! Some included above, but also excerpts from "Merrie England", The Lincolnshire Poacher

A cottage well thatched with straw

Home, sweet home

Drink to me only

Early one morning

Blow the wind Southerly

Hearts of Oak

The mermaid

Oh no John

Widecombe fair

Lass of Richmond Hill

Cherry ripe

The drummer and the cook

Sweet Genevieve

Yeomen of England

There'll always be an England

There is a tavern in the town

to name but a few: I always knew that if I kept the programme it would come in useful one day!

I've still got the dots for most of them if anyone wants to PM me for copies. Tattie B
