Great CD and great songs. The Wealden Men (Graeme Miles) You cricketing men both young and old Whether you bat or whether you bowl Ponder a while on all you owe To the Wealden men of long ago When Cromwell in those troubled times Said bat and ball were aid to crime Let them be burnt was the command And the Wealden men were cursed and damned On shaven turf all swept and rolled We score our runs and neatly bowl But on flinty chalk and stubbled clay Those Wealden men first learned to play We well applaud those mighty hits That clear the boundary rope for six Likewise for the catch we loudly cheer As those Wealden men did of yesteryear Aye we loudly clap when the fifty's scored And when a hundred shows on the board We give a shout and clap again With a silent toast of those Wealden men You cricketing men both young and old Whether you bat or whether you bowl Ponder a while on all you owe To those Wealden men of long ago Chris |
