Faint heart never won fair lady ! Every journey has an end — When at the worst affairs will mend — Dark the dawn when day is nigh — Hustle your horse and don't say die ! He who shies At such a prize Is not worth a maravedi, Be so kind To bear in mind— Faint heart never won fair lady! Faint heart never won fair lady! While the sun shines make your hay — Where a will is, there's a way — Beard the lion in his lair — None but the brave deserve the fair! I'll take heart And make a start — Though I fear the prospect's shady — Much I'd spend To gain my end — Faint heart never won fair lady! Faint heart never won fair lady! Nothing venture, nothing win — Blood is thick, but water's thin — In for a penny, in for a pound — It's Love that makes the world go round! Notes: from the operetta "Iolanthe (or The Princess and the Peri) "Maravadi": an obsolete Spanish copper coin of little value NP Nigel |

08 Oct 02 - 10:04 AM (#798882) Subject: Lyr Add: ONE STOP ENGLISH FOLK SONG From: GUEST,david simmonds, ottawa (davidsim@magma.ca) i sat down the other night to try to write an english pub ballad with as many fetid cliches as i could think of what am i missing... ONE STOP ENGLISH FOLK SONG As I was a walking for pleasure A fair maid I did chance to see So with a yo heave ho and a fal tal riddle I tossed her in the deep blue sea Ye ladies and ye gentlemen it grieves me ten times more That the briny ocean tossed her up On americay's green shore I did not care for her silver or gold And im too young to marry But she might have proved false to me So I took her cash to carry So the moral of my story As you can plaiinly see Ill go no more a roamin Till I need hard currency And as I close this sorry tale Of tragedy and farce I conclude the English folksong Is a royal pain in the arse Who cares about its plotlines Who needs the working class And sung in the new world its still As painful to the ass And so I end my dreadful song No longer I will tarry I've a far better thing that I must do Watch curly, moe and larry |
