Thread Name: Lyr Req: Helston Flora Day
Subject: RE: Helston Flora Day Lyrics wanted
Helston Furry day (as we locals call it) has two parts. The dance to the Furry dance tune (There are no words used at Helston. Those that Animaterra gives were written later and are used at Truro). The second part is the Mummers play which we call The Hal-an-Tow.This does have words but the verse about Aunt Mary Moses is no longer used. There are another set of words recorded by Terry Wogan and a Brass Band which has nothing to do with Helston.
