Having shared many a flagon of mead with Merriman at festivals past, I am familar with his drunken repetoire. It is quite clear to me that he is singing:
"Stay beside the railway, heaven while we play.
Days are gone, my dear. They are gone, my dear - but we had a good old day."
2nd verse substitutes railway for "river now"
But make of his lyrics what you will, I judge not.
haha i know sorry, i just checked out these vids again and thought that. i added it that long ago i dont have the clips again to upload. Just remember to either turn your volume down or quickly change page. Sorry
He looks like Jack Black

Matt Holness must really like British folk. He gets it SO well.
