THE MEN OF NORTH LEW aka THE BELL RINGERS or THE BELL RINGING(Roud 1515)

Mainly Norfolk Lyrics and Info “ The Bellringing    https://mainlynorfolk.info/tony.rose/songs/thebellringing.html
Wikipedia: “The Bellringers”     https://wiki.changeringing.co.uk/The_Bellringing
The Bellringing · Ian Marshall     https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AKrszXXtzH8
The Bellringing Sung by Alan Rosevear in Exeter, Roud Number 1515. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gfxh49WAFvc

The Bellringing

One day in October, neither drunken nor sober,
O'er Broadbury Down I was mending my way,
When I heard of some ringing, some dancing and singing.
I'll always remember that Jubilee Day.

Chorus: 'Twas in Ashwater town, the bells they did sound,
They rang for a belt and a hat laced with gold.
And the men of Northlew rang so steady and true
That there never were better in Devon I hold.

'Twas misunderstood, for the men of Broadwood
Rang a peel on the tenor should never have been.
But the men of Northlew rang so steady and true,
A difficult matter to beat them I ween.
(Chorus)

Those of Broadwood being naughty, then said to our party,
We'll ring you a challenge again in a round.
We'll give you the chance in St. Stephen's by Launceston;
The prize to the winner a note of five pound.

Chorus: 'Twas in Callington town, the bells they did sound, etc.

So the match it went on, at good Callington,
And the bells they rang out o'er the valley below.
And the old and young people, the hale and the feeble,
They came out to hear the sweet bell music flow.

Chorus: 'Twas in Callington town, the bells they did sound, etc.

Those of Broadwood once more were obliged to give o'er,
They were beaten completely again in a round.
But the men of Northlew rang so steady and true;
No better than they in the West can be found.

Chorus: 'Twas in Ashwater town then in Callington Town, etc

Thank you GUEST,Derrick !

THE LOSS OF THE ELIZA

And storms have come to Newfoundland by stealth and treachery,
The foul nor'easter's chilly hand is black with tragedy;
So the brave schooner Eliza on this October day,
Must match her all unequal strength with furrows that cross her way.

LANDLORD FILL THE FLOWING BOWL
Many recordings of Landlord Fill The Flowing Bowl on YouTube    https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=Come+Landlord+Fill+the+Flowing+Bowl

Come Landlord fill the flowing bowl Until it doth run over,
Come landlord fill the flowing bowl Until it doth run over,

CHORUS For tonight we'll merry merry be
For tonight we'll merry merry be
For tonight we'll merry merry be
Tomorrow we'll be sober.

The man who drinketh small beer And goes to bed quite sober,
Fades as the leaves do fade That drop off in October.

The man who drinketh strong beer And goes to bed right mellow,
Lives as he ought to live, And dies a jolly fellow.

But he who drinks just what he likes And getteth half seas over,
Will live until he die, perhaps, And then lie down in clover.

The man who kisses a pretty girl And goes and tells his mother,
Ought to have his lips cut off, And never kiss another.

The maiden who enjoys a kiss and comes back for another,
She's a boon to all mankind and soon to be a mother.

Come into the garden Maud And don't be so particular,
For if the grass is very very wet, We'll do it perpendicular.

If I had a pile of bricks I'd build my chimney higher.
That would stop the neighbour's cat from pissing in the fi-er.

THE CASTLE OF DROMORE
The October winds lament
around the castle of Dromore
Yet peace is in her lofty halls
My loving treasure store

Though Autumn leaves may droop and die
a bud of spring are you sing hush-a-by
loo,la-lo,la lan
sing hush-a-by loo la lo

Bring no ill will to hinder us
my helpless babe and me dread spirits
of the blackwater clan owen's wild banshee
and Holy Mary pitying us in Heaven
for grace doth sue sing hush-a-by
loo,la-lo,la lan sing hush-a-by loo la lo

Take time to thrive my ray of hope
in the garden of Dromore
Take heed young eaglet
till thy wings are feathered fit to
soar a little rest and then the world
is full of work to do
sing hush-a-by loo,
la-lo,la lan sing hush-a-by loo la lo

P.S.

In answer to Geoff Lawes, no that's not Jim Reid singing in the YouTube link you gave: it's Daniel Kelly (as it says in the script accompanying the video!!) and he does make a nice job of it, though he has a deeper voice than Jim's.
You might like this track of Jim singing: the songs are seasonal anyway and include what is perhaps his best-known setting of a Violet Jacob poem - Norland Wind (aka The Wild Geese):

Another mention of Columbus, in MARCHING INLAND,
by Tom Lewis:

Columbus he set sail to find out if the world was round
He kept up sailing to the West until he ran aground
He thought he found the Indians but he found the USA

Columbus Day is celebrated (by some) on 12 October, commemorating his arrival in the West Indies on that date in 1492. Many songs make incidental mention of Columbus,
e.g.,SAUERKRAUT, by Lou & Peter Berryman, has a stanza,

Could you dump this ice out in the bathtub, can you dig it
Here we're dumping out the ice to make some room to make some more;
How'd you like a chicken that came over with Columbus?
Well I've got one here, Don't mention it, dear. That's what friends are for.

'Twas an evening in October, I'll confess I wasn't sober,
I was carting home a load with manly pride,
When my feet began to stutter and I fell into the gutter,
And a pig came up and lay down by my side.
Then I lay there in the gutter and my heart was all a-flutter,
Till a lady, passing by, did chance to say:
"You can tell a man that boozes by the company he chooses,"
Then the pig got up and slowly walked away.

THE SINKING OF THE REUBEN JAMES by Woody Guthrie.

One hundred men were drowned in that dark watery grave
When that good ship went down, only forty four were saved
Twas the last day of October that we saved the forty four
From the cold icy water off the cold Iceland shore.

Thanks Guest: I was even at that concert! It appeared as 2 separate clips on YouTube listings: very sorry for any duplication: but I know that Sheena has it, just herself, on one of her own CDs too!
What was slightly disappointing was not to find a YouTube of Jim Reid himself singing it: I'm sure I have it on one of his CDs. But the quoted version is great.

And for anyone doing kids' Hallowe'en parties, here are a couple more less serious songs!

1. HALLOWE'EN (From Music Time for Brownies)


Tonight is the night when dead leaves fly
Like witches and switches across the sky
When elf and sprite flit through the night
Om a moony sheen, on a moony sheen.

Tonight is the night when leaves do sound
Like gnomes in their homes far beneath the ground,
When spooks and trolls creep out of holes,
Dark and mossy green, dark and mossy green.

Tonight is the night when pumpkins stare
Through brown sheaves and leaves almost everywhere,
When ghoul and ghost and goblin host
Dance round their queen, for it’s Hallowe’en.


(Suggested accompaniment for this is a spooky “wobble board”! or gentle use of a “thunder tube” might work)
The whole thing can be accompanied by a drone in A or B minor. Can supply the tune if anyone wants it.


2. THE HALLOWE’EN QUARTERMASTER
                Trish Santer 24.10.06.
(You'll know the tune for this one, I guess!)

There were witches, witches, wearing stripy britches
In the stores, in the stores,
There were witches, witches, wearing stripy britches
In the quartermaster’s stores.

Chorus
My eyes are dim , I cannot see, I have not brought my specs with me,
I have not brought my specs with me.

There were rats, rats, big as tiger cats, etc.

There were spiders, spiders, drinking pints of cider, etc.

There were wizards, wizards, eating chicken gizzards, etc.

There were bats, bats, we were wearing them as hats, etc.

There were ghouls, ghouls, playing with garden tools, etc

There were pumpkins, pumpkins, brought in by some numpties, etc.

There were brooms, brooms, flying round the room, etc

There were ghosts, ghosts, bumping into posts, etc
