A Shropshire Lad - V. "The lads in their hundreds" - Ian Bostridge[00:00:00]
Composed by:George Butterworth[00:00:00]
The lads in their hundreds to[00:00:00]
Ludlow come in for the fair[00:00:02]
There's men from the barn and the[00:00:05]
Forge and the mill and the fold[00:00:07]
The lads for the girls and[00:00:10]
The lads for the liquor are there[00:00:12]
And there with the rest are[00:00:15]
The lads that will never be old[00:00:18]
There's chaps from the town and[00:00:25]
The field and the till and the cart[00:00:27]
And many to count are the stalwart[00:00:30]
And many the brave[00:00:32]
And many the handsome of face and the handsome of heart[00:00:35]
And few that will carry their looks[00:00:40]
Or their truth to the grave[00:00:44]
I wish one could know them[00:00:51]
I wish there were tokens to tell[00:00:53]
The fortunate fellows that now you can never discern[00:00:56]
And then one could talk with them[00:01:00]
Friendly and wish them farewell[00:01:02]
And watch them depart on the way that[00:01:06]
They will not return[00:01:11]
But now you may stare as you like[00:01:18]
And there's nothing to scan[00:01:21]
And brushing your elbow unguessed-at and not to be told[00:01:24]
They carry back bright to the coiner the mintage of man[00:01:29]
The lads that will die in their glory and never be old[00:01:35]
