Chorus: On the road - on the road By the masters of oppression you were taken from your land On the road - on the road The immortal power of freedom took you by the hand Did you wake with a dread in the dark day dawning Did the sun force a way through the clouds of the morning Was the lark on the wing above you soaring freely in the sky What thoughts did you share what fears were growing Did you think you'd be home 'fore the cock was crowing Did you think of the land where you'd be going On the road to Dorchester. As you crossed Gray's bridge with the jail ahead Past the spire of the church, the graves of the dead Did you feel regret for the things you'd said, The oath that you had sworn Were you sure in your heart that your cause was right Were you firmly resolved to stand and fight For the right to resist the master's might And for children yet unborn. That road was trod before you came And since you've gone it's been trod again In trial and grief, glory and pain In England's pleasant land The road's still there and so's the town Where you stood for your rights, and your renown Is there on the road that you walked down The road to Dorchester. *Found here http://humph.org/lw/concerts/peace/program/Road%20to%20Dorechester%20Lyrics%20Background.pdf , with many interesting notes. |

Above the park is a shady tree lined terrace. Some weekends there sre craft stalls, and food stalls, all kinds of ethnic and world products and local delicacies like Blue Vinny Cheese. On the opposite side of the terrace is a large imposing house of grey stone, where lived one of the magistrates who condemned the Tolpuddle Martyrs to transportation. |
