00:00The werewolf, the werewolf, he comes stepping along
00:08He doesn't even break the branches where he's been and gone
00:17You can hear his long holler from away across the moor
00:26That's the sound of the werewolf when he's feeling poor
00:34He goes out in the evening when the bats are on the wing
00:49And he's killed some young maiden before the birds do sing
00:59Oh, the werewolf, the werewolf, please have sympathy
01:12For the werewolf, he is someone so much like you and me
01:21Once I saw him in the moonlight
01:37When the bats, they were flying
01:42All alone I saw the werewolf
01:46And the werewolf was crying
01:50Crying nobody, nobody, nobody knows
02:00How much I'd love the maiden
02:04As I tear off her clothes
02:09Crying nobody, nobody knows of my pain
02:37When I see it is risen
02:42That full moon again
02:46When I see that moon moving
02:52Through the clouds in the sky
02:56I get a crazy feeling
03:00And I wonder why
03:05The werewolf, the werewolf, he comes stepping along
03:24He doesn't even break the branches
03:29Where he's been and gone
03:33This world's a lonely place
03:58To walk around in
04:00This world's a place where life is hard to spend
04:10We can help each other live
04:16Everyone can give
04:21The simple gift, the words that live
04:28Be my friend
04:32Some days you'll wake up
04:43Some days you'll wake up
04:43Feeling nothing but fear
04:47Some days you'll wonder why
04:52God put you here
04:55Then all at once there comes a word
05:01What was that you heard
05:05Why someone said
05:08From Gilead
05:11Be my friend
05:12Be my friend
05:16This world may not bring much of comfort to you
05:30This world may lose its touch of kindness too
05:39Well, who's to blame, why can't you see
05:45It's only you and me
05:49So if I may
05:52I'd like to say
05:56Be my friend
06:01Be my friend
06:04And I'd like to tell you
06:06About two people
06:08What if I may
06:09Have you
06:10I would like to say
06:12What if I don't know
06:14In my side
06:15I would like to say
06:16About two people
06:16Besides
06:20When
06:21I don't know
06:22Or
06:23You
06:23I would like to say
06:24Once
06:25Christmas
06:26And
06:26This world may
06:27Go
06:27When
06:27I'm
06:27Attach
06:28leaving
06:29Be my friend
06:40This world's a lonely place to walk around in
06:52This world's a place where life is hard to spend
06:58We can help each other live
07:04Everyone can give
07:09The simple gift
07:11The words that live
07:14Be my friend
07:28To the world's a place where life is hard to spend
11:04She's like the swallow that flies so high.
11:34She's like the river that never runs dry.
11:42She's like the sunshine on the lee shore.
11:49I love my love and love is no more.
11:57It was all once bright jewels and glittering sand.
12:27The oceans have ravished and strangled the land.
12:34The waste fills the temple's dead daughters are born.
12:41Your presses are torn.
12:47Who's husband was the first of all who died the worst death of them all.
12:56The first of all who died the worst death of them all.
13:04How many splinterns in each separate band.
13:12How many stations in the final hand.
13:21Go gather in seashells and write down brave words.
13:30Your prayers, your prayers, your prayers, your prayers, their unanswered, your rifles absurd.
13:36The seaweed and cobwebs have rotted your sword.
13:43Your barricades, your barricades, your barricades, your barricades broken.
13:45Your barricades broken, your enemies lost.
13:49Who's husband was the first of all who died the worst death of them all.
13:54Who's husband was the first to fall who died the worst death of them all.
13:56The first to fall
14:00Who died the worst death of them all
14:04How many splinters in each separate band
14:12How many stations in the final hand
14:26Playing games to hide our faces
14:55Where are you my girl dancing
15:00I know where I'll find you
15:06I know where to find you
15:12Rising late, it's hard to start out
15:17With a smile you'll learn too soon
15:23Making new day resolutions
15:27Forgotten in the afternoon
15:33Hear them say that you're a wanderer
15:45Hear them say your heart's astray
15:52Oh, this is your all, my girl of dancing
15:59Don't let them take it away
16:03Oh, the day goes out in red gold gazes
16:14Where are you my girl of dancing
16:18I know where I'll find you
16:25I know where to find you
16:29In the cafe, all night city
16:36With laughter rising to the moon
16:41Making plans for summer madness
16:45Forgotten in the afternoon
16:47Forgotten in the afternoon
16:52Oh, hear them say that you're a wanderer
17:04Hear them say your heart's astray
17:06Hear them say your heart's astray
17:11Oh, this is your all, my girl of dancing
17:17Don't let them take it away
17:19Don't let them take it away
17:24On my bed, the moon and the star
17:34Where are you my girl of dancing
17:39I know where I'll find you
17:46I know where to find you
17:52Dreaming again of country leather
17:58Of stone-proof floors and flowers in June
18:04Brass and vocals worn in the morning
18:09Hung on the hook in the afternoon
18:14Hear them say that you're a wanderer
18:26Hear them say your heart's astray
18:33But this is your all, my girl of dancing
18:40So don't let them take it away
18:45Uneven players miss their chances
19:00Where are you my girl of dancing
19:01Where are you my girl of dancing
19:06I know where I'll find you
19:11I know where to find you
19:17By the window you are sitting
19:22I wonder where your smile has grown
19:28Was it someone in the morning
19:33Who got you in the afternoon?
19:44I hear them say that you're everywhere
19:45I hear them say that y'ore a wanderer
19:47Hear them say that yore a stray
19:48But this is your all, my girl of dancing
19:49Don't let them take it away
19:57But this is your all, my girl, who dances
20:03Don't let them take it away
20:22Oh, my name is what you may call me, and my father's was as well
20:26Of a little game he taught me and the story I will tell
20:30With lots of little soldiers and as sure as the day would come
20:34I sent them into battle at the beating of a drum
20:38I put them all up on a table and I marched them all around
20:42I battered them with me cannonballs and watched them falling down
20:46Had lots of little crosses which I laid upon the dead
20:49And I patched up all the wounded ones and sent them off to bed
20:53When I went round to the neighbours for a nickel or a dime
21:01To buy some little soldiers just to pass away the time
21:05They were always very kindly at supplying me with guns
21:09And some of them even let me play at soldiers with their sons
21:13I put them all up on a table and I marched them all around
21:16I battered them with me cannonballs and watched them falling down
21:20Had lots of little crosses which I laid upon the dead
21:24And I patched up all the wounded ones and sent them off to bed
21:28Whenever I went to the shop to buy me guns and tanks
21:37The man there always smiled, patted me head and whispered thanks
21:41If it wasn't for your soldier game I don't know what to do
21:44Well you keep me business busy son so here's an extra few
21:48I put them all up on a table and I marched them all around
21:52I battered them with me cannonballs and watched them falling down
21:56Had lots of little crosses which I laid upon the dead
21:59And I patched up all the wounded ones and sent them off to bed
22:03One day I bought some aeroplanes but this is what I found
22:11When I sent them into battle to help me soldiers on the ground
22:15They bombed up every soldier and they proved a terrible flop
22:19And I had to buy another hundred crosses from the shop
22:23I put them all up on a table and I marched them all around
22:26I battered them with me cannonballs and watched them falling down
22:30Had lots of little crosses which I laid upon the dead
22:34And I patched up all the wounded ones and sent them off to bed
22:38I'd very much like to teach this game of soldiers and of guns
22:47To me fourteen lovely daughters, me seven handsome sons
22:51The man in the shop gave me a bomb, he took it off the shelf
22:55And it bombed up every soldier, all me neighbours and meself
22:59I put them all up on a table and I marched them all around
23:02I battered them with me cannonballs and watched them falling down
23:06Had lots of little crosses which I laid upon the dead
23:10And I patched up all the wounded ones and sent them off to bed
23:14Lily go down by the old river's coastrals
23:33Lily, go down by the old river's cold stones
23:41Dip your feet in the mellow meadows
23:48Oh, Lily, go so by the gold honey's old cones
23:56Speak of him to your father's widow
24:00Oh, Lily, lay out your hand on the window
24:08See all the fear laying there in men
24:14Oh, Lily, go hide as the bold, clever winds blow
24:21And don't think about the places you've been
24:27Go hear echoes telling of your bones
24:41All the waters run clean and blown
24:48Go and hear the faint knelling of dootons
24:55Coming from the bells as you are back, you know
25:01Oh, Lily, lay out your grief on the window
25:08Go and see now to the needs of the wren
25:13Oh, Lily, go hide as the foul, clever winds blow
25:21Don't think about the places you've been
25:26Go and speak to the dead fish's lead bones
25:34Go and cry down to the town in hell
25:40Go and speak to the dread-ridden dead ones
25:48Go and speak to the dread-ridden dead ones
25:48Go and speak to the dread-ridden dead ones
25:49Go and understand all the things you know
25:54Oh, Lily, lisp out your breath from the window
26:01Go and splinter off all the bows of young men
26:09Oh, Lily, go hide as the black clever winds blow
26:15And don't think about the places you've been
26:24Lily leaves pile on the sail of the window
26:53In a yellow pyre for the precious wet wren
26:59Oh, Lily, go hide as the dry clever winds blow
27:07And now we can think about the places you've been
27:14Oh, Lily, go hide as the sea of the sea of the sea of the sea of the sea of the sea of the sea
27:19Oh, Lily, go hide as the sea of the sea of the sea of the sea of the sea of the sea of the sea of the sea of the sea of the sea of the sea of the sea of the sea of the sea of the sea of the sea of the sea of the sea of the sea of the sea of the sea of the sea of the sea of the sea of the sea of the sea of the sea of the sea of the sea of the sea of the sea of the sea of the sea of the sea of the sea of the sea of the sea of the sea of the sea of the sea of the sea of the sea of the sea of the sea of the sea of the sea of the sea of the sea of the sea of the sea of the sea of the sea of the sea of the sea of the sea of the sea of the sea of the sea of the sea of the sea of the sea of the sea of the sea of the sea of the sea of the sea of the sea of the sea of the sea of the sea of the sea of the sea of
30:49He took his pack all on his back and merryly trudged o'er the league.
30:57My chance he met with two troublesome men, two troublesome men, their chance to be.
31:03And one of them was bald robin hood, the other one was little John so free.
31:40The pack it shall be, the pack it shall belong to me.
31:47Oh no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
32:03The peddler, he's pulled off his pack, put it a little below his knee
32:10Saying, if you do move me one perch from this, my pack and all it shall go with thee
32:17Then little John, he's drawn his sword, the peddler by his pack did stand
32:25They fought until they both did sweat, till he cries, peddler pray hold thy hand
32:33And Robin Hood, who'd been standing by, well he did laugh most heartily
32:42I could find a man of much smaller scale, that could thrash the peddler and also thee
32:50Go try you master, says little John, and go you try right speedily
32:57For by me body, says little John, I know this night you will know me
33:05Then Robin Hood, he's drawn his sword, the peddler by his pack did stand
33:15They fought until the blood in streams did flow, till he cries, peddler pray hold thy hand
33:23Oh peddler, peddler, what is thy name?
33:29Come speedily and tell to me, well now my name I could never tell
33:35Till both your names you have told me
33:39Oh the one of us is bald Robin Hood, the other one's little John Supreme
33:46Then said the peddler, it lays to my good will, whether my name I choose to tell thee
33:53I'm gamble gold of the gay green woods, travelled far beyond the sea
34:03For killing a man in my father's land, far from the country I was forced to flee
34:10If your gambled gold of the gay green woods, travelled far beyond the sea
34:18You are my mother's own sister-son, what nearer cousins could we be?
34:25They've sheathed their swords, aye with friendly birds
34:39So Mary Lee they did agree
34:42They went to an ale house and there they dined
34:45And crackhead bottles right, Mary Lee
34:55The commander of the 51st Brigade
35:05He's a tartar, he's a devil, not afraid
35:10When I say that he's a tartar, well no one could be smarter
35:15And the strongest drink he drinks ain't lemonade
35:20He's a dashing kind of soldier, not a regimental dude
35:25Red-nosed through inability to masticate his food
35:31I see you've noticed mine is red, but I don't care a damn
35:36I may as well own up to it and tell you who I am
35:42I'm Major General Worthington, Worthington, Worthington
35:48You should see all the medals that I have not won
35:51Have not won, I have not won
35:53And I don't give up if I never get one
35:56For as I came home from Africa
35:59In the month of May the Queen did say
36:03Will you have a BC? I said, not me
36:07I'd rather have a bottle of Worthington
36:10The pet of all the ladies is this soldier
36:17In front and flank attack none could be bolder
36:22And with every mother's daughter
36:25I'm as hot as boiling water
36:28But for goodness sake don't tell the wife I've told ya
36:32In the service all we fellas use a lot of slangy words
36:38We never calls the ladies pets
36:41We always call them birds
36:44Who is it sets their hearts on fire and takes away their breath
36:49They all fall down and worship him
36:52He's got them skinned to death
36:55Why Major General Worthington, Worthington, Worthington
37:01The biggest liar that you've ever Hurdington
37:04Hurdington is Worthington
37:06In fact he's the biggest on the Earthington
37:09When we were down in Blomfontein
37:12A charge was seen in the old canteen
37:16What a charge they made
37:18But the worst I'm afraid
37:20Was one and nine a bottle for Worthington
37:24There's no mistake about this lady's pet
37:31He's about the hottest thing you've ever met
37:36He's got a dreadful fuss, sir
37:39He'd drink until he bursts, sir
37:41Even bread and dripping if it tasted wet
37:46But still with all his faults
37:48He's not a bad sort after all
37:51When on parade would do you good
37:54To hear him shout and bawl
37:57The things he's done are marvellous
38:00I don't mind telling you
38:02Who was mentioned in dispatches
38:05Or a thing he didn't do
38:08I'm Major General Worthington
38:11Worthington
38:12Worthington
38:13Worthington
38:14You should see all the medals
38:15That I have not won
38:17Have not won
38:18I have not won
38:19And I don't give a
38:20If I never get one
38:22For as I came home from Africa
38:25In the month of May
38:26The Queen did say
38:28Will you have a VC?
38:30I said not me
38:32I'd rather have a bottle of Worthington
