Peter Trimming Sings: Cadgwith Anthem

Recorded at the Two Brewers, Selhurst, on 20th November 2007.

Cadgwith is in Cornwall, that land beyond England.

Please don't get confused by my "Shanty Crew" shirt; I left the group in 1982, but the sweatshirts were made to last!

Note how impressed some of my friends appear to be with my singing, or were they just tired?

Cadgwith Anthem

Come fill up your glasses,
And let us be merry.
For to rob and to plunder,
It is our intent.

Chorus

As we roam through the valleys
Where the lilies and the roses,
And the beauty of Cashmere,
lay drooping his head.
Then away,
Then away,
Then away,
To those caves in yonder mountains,
Where the robbers retreat.

Hark, hark in the distance,
There's footsteps approaching.
Stand, stand and deliver,
It is our watch cry.

Chorus

Come fill up your glasses,
And let us be merry.
For to rob and to plunder,
It is our intent.

It would sound better with a few friends...sadly, one died, one is ill, and another didn't make the session.

Thanks for the comment!
