Francis Duggan - Those Marvellous Morris Dancers

Francis Duggan - Those Marvellous Morris Dancers

Those happy Morris dancers make for a happy sight br They wear bright scarlet ribbons and their shirts and trousers white, br They clash their sticks whilst dancing and you hear the timbers ring br Though 'twould seem that Morris dancing is not a female thing. br br I've never seen a female Morris dancer i stand corrected if I'm wrong br It has it's roots in England and to England it belong br And i hope that Morris dancing will not go the way of rhyme br That in a changing World it won't lose out to time. br br They brought their culture with them from England far away br A culture perhaps fading like many of the old cultures are today br With the old dances of Europe i see a link somewhere br And sad to hear that Morris dancers are now becoming rare. br br At the Dandenong Ranges festival east of Melbourne they perform every year br And after in the booze tent they laugh as they drink their beer, br They brought a thing of beauty when they brought their dancing here br And to those marvellous Morris dancers let us raise our glass of cheer.
