The exceedingly lovely Dave Burland has very recently put a FB post up, asking for details of a song written by Stuart Lawrence. The assorted replies have given some info - he started Furness Morris, says Gordon Jones.

The song that Dave is after starts

Oh what in the world is the world coming to
You cannot trust other like you used to do,
They rob you and cheat you, put you to shame
They’ve no morals at all and they won’t play the game.

Does anyone know the rest, and can anyone supply the tune?

Many thanks!

I can't find much on it. Is the song sung as part of the Morris tradition? There also appear to be some collections of his floating about and referenced in folk music journals. Unfortunately, Stuart passed away in 2001.
