Does anyone have the lyrics of "Join us in our game" (I know Mr Fox's rendition)
Thanks
Yuval

Who was it written by, and do you have any words of the specific song you want?

It's on the first Mr. Fox album. I don't have a lyric sheet with my copy. It was either written by Bob & Carole Pegg or Carole Pegg & Ashlye Hutchings. Bob Pegg has a website and you might want to visit that. Sorry, I don't have its address.

I know the song, but haven't heard it in ages. This is what I remember. Hope it helps!



Come along good people join us in our game
Join us in our game
Come with us into our world and listen as we play
Join us in our game
Join us in our game

We sing of the North where dales echo with the dancing
Join us in our game
Where fiddlers play and ladies laugh and Mr Fox comes prancing
Join us in our game
Join us in our game

A goshawk may beguile you, a hanging man may haunt you
Join us our game
(Something, something, something, something, blah, blah, blah, blah)
Join us in our game
Join us in our game

Rpt first verse



Chris

Words by Carole Pegg, tune by Bob Pegg.

I have it on the double LP 'The Complete Mr Fox'. Unfortunately, it has no lyrics sheet and I don't have time to attempt a transciption at the moment. I will later, if no one else can supply. There a couple of additional stanzas to what Chris has given above.

This is how I hear the song. The only line I am uncertain about is the one in square brackets. Bob Pegg slurs the line. It could be something else entirely to what I have given - the second part could be 'and paths are strewn with rubble'.

JOIN US IN OUR GAME
(Bob and Carole Pegg)

Instrumental intro

Come on good people join us while you may
Join us in our game
Come with us into our world and listen as we play
Join us in our game
Join us in our game

We sing of the North where dales echo with the dancing
Join us in our game
Where fiddlers play and ladies laugh as Mr Fox comes prancing
Join us in our game
Join us in our game

A goshawk may beguile you, a hanging man may haunt you
Join us our game
When singing streams turn icy, then the Green Man he may taunt you
Join us in our game
Join us in our game

But the seasons hide the sorrow on the faces of the people
Join us in our game
[As doubts conceal their dangerous flood and pastures strewn with rubble]
Join us in our game
Join us in our game

And there's singing in the churches and the fields as day is dawning
Join us in our game
Neddy played and Jacky sang and Clancy danced till morning
Join us in our game
Join us in our game

Instrumental break

Repeat first stanza

--Stewie.
