The Floral Dance - Peter Dawson[00:00:00]
As I walked home on a Summer night[00:00:12]
When stars in Heaven were shining bright[00:00:15]
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[00:00:35]
On the calm air came floating down[00:00:37]
I thought I could hear the curious tone[00:00:50]
Of the cornet clarinet and big trombone[00:00:52]
Fiddle cello big bass drum[00:00:54]
Bassoon flute and euphonium[00:00:56]
Far away as in a trance[00:00:59]
I heard the sound of the Floral Dance[00:01:02]
And soon I heard such a bustling and prancing[00:01:07]
And then I saw the whole village was dancing[00:01:10]
In and out of the houses they came[00:01:12]
Old folk young folk all the same[00:01:14]
In that quaint old Cornish town[00:01:16]
Every boy took a girl around the waist[00:01:22]
And hurried her off in tremendous haste[00:01:24]
Whether they knew one another I care not[00:01:26]
Whether they cared at all I know not[00:01:28]
But they kissed as they danced along[00:01:30]
And there was the band with that curious tone[00:01:42]
Of the cornet clarinet and big trombone[00:01:44]
Fiddle cello big bass drum[00:01:46]
Bassoon flute and euphonium[00:01:48]
Each one making the most of his chance[00:01:51]
All together in the Floral Dance[00:01:53]
I felt so lonely standing there[00:02:09]
And I could only stand and stare[00:02:12]
For I had no boy with me[00:02:14]
Lonely I should have to be[00:02:16]
In that quaint old Cornish town[00:02:19]
When suddenly hast'ning down the lane[00:02:25]
A figure I knew I saw quite plain[00:02:27]
With outstretched hands he came along[00:02:29]
And carried me into that merry throng[00:02:31]
And fiddle and all went dancing town[00:02:33]
We danced to the band with the curious tone[00:02:43]
Of the cornet clarinet and big trombone[00:02:45]
Fiddle cello big bass drum[00:02:48]
Bassoon flute and euphonium[00:02:50]
Each one making the most of his chance[00:02:52]
All together in the Floral Dance[00:02:54]
Dancing here prancing there[00:02:57]
Jigging jogging everywhere[00:02:58]
Up and down and round the town[00:03:00]
Hurrah for the Cornish Floral Dance[00:03:03]
