The Wedding at Stanton Drew

I'm hoping someone will help me with the words for a song I know of as 'The Wedding at Stanton Drew'. I know the chorus is; They danced and danced and danced all around Danced and danced to the fiddlers sound Danced with a skip, they danced with a hop It seemed that nothing could make them stop.

I'd appreciate any available help with the verses! Thanks

Midsummers eve it fell on a saturday Sue and williasm went to be wed They had music played by a fiddler Lets go dancing William she said

Chorus They danced,danced danced around danced dance to the fiddlers sound

Midnight came then said the fiddler Dancing on Sunday wouldn't be right I don't care said Sue if to hell I go I'll find another fiddler tonight

Chorus

Along the road a fiddling and dancing Another fiddler came in to view You'd like to dance and I'd like to play for you tunes he played both merry and new

Chorus

Stop cried th dancers no cried the fiddler He carried on inspite of their moans This is the price for dancing on a Sunday Then in flash he turned them to stone

Chorus twice

hope this is OK I may have another version which if I find I will send

Cheers Alicat
