NARROW BOATS TO TOW  - Graeme Meek © Barry Goodman 2008

A dark and dismal morning in the middle of October,
Another day of toil in the bitter cold and rain.
Sixty tons of coal in the narrow boats behind me
As I start along the towpath once again.
Fetched from out the stables before the dawn was breaking,
Harnessed, fed and watered with the stars still in the sky;
Starting on the working day before the world is waking
With thirty miles to travel by and by.

Chorus:
I could have pulled a haywain, I could have pulled a hearse,
I could have pulled a brewer’s dray to quench the people’s thirst,
I could have pulled an omnibus, I might have pulled a plough,
But I’m a boathorse and I’ve narrow boats to tow.

Across the hedges, fields are shining ,,,

As part of the build-up to the fight the English soldiers were treated to bell-ringing and masses being sung from the Cathedral tower and for many years their victory has been commemorated by the singing of anthems from the top of the Tower by the Cathedral choir.
