peter warlock - away to twiver lyrics

Loading...

and did you not hear of a mirth that befell
the morrow after a wedding day
at carrying a bride at home to dwell?
and away to twiver, away, away!

the quintain was set and the garlands were made
’tis pity old custom should ever decay;
and woe be to him that was horsed on a jade
for he carried no credit away, away!

we met a consort of fiddle+de+dees
we set them a+c+ckhorse, and made them to play
the winning of bullen and upsiefrees;
and away to twiver, away, away!

there was ne’er a lad in all the parish
that would go to the plough, to the plough that day
but on his forehorse his wench he carries;
and away to twiver, away, away!

the butler was quick and the ale he did tap
the maidens did make the chamber full gay;
the serving men gave me a fuddleing cap
and i did carry it away, away!

the smith of the town his liquor so took
that he was persuaded the ground look’d blue;
and i dare boldly to swear on a book
such smiths as he there are but a few
a posset was made and the women did sip
and simpering said they could eat no more;
full many a maid was laid on the lip:
i’ll say no more but so give o’er
