herbert howells - old skinflint lyrics
‘twixt carrowbrough edge and settlingstones
see old daddy skinflint dance in his bones
old skinflint on the gallows+tree
old daddy skinflint, the father of me
“why do you dance, do you dance so high?
why do you dance in the windy sky?
why do you dance in your naked bones
‘twixt carrowbrough edge and settlingstones?
old daddy skinflint, the father of me
why do you dance on the gallows+tree
who never tripped on a dancing floor
or flung your heels in a reel before?
you taught me many a cunning thing
but never taught me to dance and sing
yet i must do whatever you do
so when you dance i must dance too.”
‘twixt carrowbrough edge and settlingstones
see old daddy skinflint dance in his bones
old skinflint on the gallows+tree
old daddy skinflint, the father of me
