Subject: Help with chorus of 'Cornish Ploughboys'
Can anyone in Mudcat Land help me out with the chorus of a song called "Cornish Ploughboys"? This songs is from Tom & Barbara Brown's lovely cd Where Umber Flows. It sounds like part of the chorus is a list of horse (or oxen?) names:
While still you are sleeping we rise in the morn To plough for the farmer that he may grow corn .............................................. Come [hoop?] along, chip along, hark to us now For we are the lads that can drive on the plough
