Boating Song. K.B.C.
Lent 1880.
(Air: It's a fine hunting day.)
On a damp windy day
In tempestuous May,
In a most insufficient attire,
What a pleasure to row
For a furlong or so,
And to glow with a patriot's fire:
There is glory to win in the fray,
There are crowds to applaud all the way,
We shall very soon be
At the top of the tree
If we all go out every day.
In tempestuous May,
In a most insufficient attire,
What a pleasure to row
For a furlong or so,
And to glow with a patriot's fire:
There is glory to win in the fray,
There are crowds to applaud all the way,
We shall very soon be
At the top of the tree
If we all go out every day.
Chorus.
Let's all go out every day
From now till the middle of May:
We shall very soon be
At the top of the tree
If we all go out every day.
Let's all go out every day
From now till the middle of May:
We shall very soon be
At the top of the tree
If we all go out every day.
By the top of the tree,
As I think you must see,
It's the head of the river I mean:
An appropriate place
For our vessel to grace
And at which she will shortly be seen:
