Subject: Lyr/Tune Add: THE BROOM SQUIRE'S BIRD SONG
From: Bill D
Date: 07 Jan 99 - 09:21 PM

This is my first posting WITH a tune...better late than never! The song is from "The Chime Child" by Ruth Tongue

"Of all the birds that ever I see
The Colley-bird1 is the singer for me,
The Dove she croons for she would if she could,
The old cock Pheasant crows in the wood.
The Bullfinch pipes in the orchard tree,
But the Colley-bird is the singer for me.
The small Jenny Wren, she has a loud song,
The Tits and the Sparrows they all go along.
The Hen she cackles again and again,
But the Colley-bird, the Colley-bird,
The Colley-bird carols after the rain."

"The Curlew he cries far out on the hill,
The Rooks and the Jackdaws let go with a will,
The Nightingale sings in the still of the night,
The Thrush he hails the morning light,
The Linnet he goes it, so sweet do he,
But the Colley-bird is the singer for me.
The Missel2 he calls when the storm be strong,
The Ruddick3 he cheers us when winter be long,
The Duck she quackles and quackles so plain,
But the Colley-bird, the Colley-bird,
The Colley-bird carols after the rain."

"The Lark he sings praises high up in the air,
The little brown Dunnock4 utters a prayer,
The Cuckoo calls Amen like a bell,
The swooping Swallow responds very well,
The Black-cap whistles so merrily,
But the Colley-bird is the singer for me.
And all the small birds the green bushes among
Sing Glory to God as I go along;
There's never a one that do praise in vain,
But the Colley-bird, the Colley-bird,
The Colley-bird carols after the rain."

1 Colley-bird = blackbird
2 Missel = storm cock, missel thrush
3 Ruddick = Robin
4 Dunnock = hedge sparrow
