The Floral Dance - Peter Dawson[00:00:00]

As I walked home on a Summer night[00:00:13]

When stars in Heaven were shining bright[00:00:16]

Far away from the footlight's glare[00:00:18]

Into the sweet and scented air[00:00:20]

Of a quaint old Cornish town[00:00:22]

Borne from afar on the gentle breeze[00:00:29]

Joining the murmur of the summer seas[00:00:31]

Distant tones of an old world dance[00:00:33]

Played by the village band perchance[00:00:36]

On the calm air came floating down[00:00:38]

I thought I could hear the curious tone[00:00:51]

Of the cornet clarinet and big trombone[00:00:53]

Fiddle cello big bass drum[00:00:55]

Bassoon flute and euphonium[00:00:58]

Far away as in a trance[00:01:00]

I heard the sound of the Floral Dance[00:01:03]

And soon I heard such a bustling and prancing[00:01:09]

And then I saw the whole village was dancing[00:01:11]

In and out of the houses they came[00:01:13]

Old folk young folk all the same[00:01:15]

In that quaint old Cornish town[00:01:17]

Every boy took a girl around the waist[00:01:24]

And hurried her off in tremendous haste[00:01:25]

Whether they knew one another I care not[00:01:27]

Whether they cared at all I know not[00:01:30]

But they kissed as they danced along[00:01:32]

And there was the band with that curious tone[00:01:43]

Of the cornet clarinet and big trombone[00:01:46]

Fiddle cello big bass drum[00:01:48]

Bassoon flute and euphonium[00:01:50]

Each one making the most of his chance[00:01:52]

All together in the Floral Dance[00:01:55]

I felt so lonely standing there[00:02:11]

And I could only stand and stare[00:02:14]

For I had no baby with me[00:02:17]

Lonely I should have to be[00:02:19]

In that quaint old Cornish town[00:02:21]

When suddenly hast'ning down the lane[00:02:28]

A figure I knew I saw quite plain[00:02:30]

With outstretched hands she rushed along[00:02:32]

And carried me into that merry throng[00:02:33]

And fiddle and all went dancing down[00:02:36]

We danced to the band with the curious tone[00:02:46]

Of the cornet clarinet and big trombone[00:02:49]

Fiddle cello big bass drum[00:02:51]

Bassoon flute and euphonium[00:02:53]

Each one making the most of his chance[00:02:55]

Altogether in the Floral Dance[00:02:57]

Dancing here prancing there[00:02:59]

Jigging jogging everywhere[00:03:01]

Up and down and round the town[00:03:03]

Hurrah for the Cornish Floral Dance[00:03:06]
