[00:00:07] The Floral Dance -Peter Dawson

[00:00:14] As I walked home on a Summer night

[00:00:16] When stars in Heaven were shining bright

[00:00:18] Far away from the footlight's glare

[00:00:19] Into the sweet and scented air

[00:00:19] Of a quaint old Cornish town

[00:00:21] Borne from afar on the gentle breeze

[00:00:23] Joining the murmur of the summer seas

[00:00:26] Distant tones of an old world dance

[00:00:28] Played by the village band perchance

[00:00:31] On the calm air came floating down

[00:00:34] I thought I could hear the curious tone

[00:00:36] Of the cornet clarinet and big trombone

[00:00:40] Fiddle cello big bass drum

[00:00:42] Bassoon flute and euphonium

[00:00:45] Far away as in a trance

[00:00:48] I heard the sound of the Floral Dance

[00:00:50] And soon I heard such a bustling and prancing

[00:00:51] And then I saw the whole village was dancing

[00:00:53] In and out of the houses they came

[00:00:56] Old folk young folk all the same

[00:00:57] In that quaint old Cornish town

[00:00:58] Every boy took a girl around the waist

[00:01:09] And hurried her off in tremendous haste

[00:01:10] Whether they knew one another I care not

[00:01:11] Whether they cared at all I know not

[00:01:12] But they kissed as they danced along

[00:01:13] And there was the band with that curious tone

[00:01:15] Of the cornet clarinet and big trombone

[00:01:17] Fiddle cello big bass drum

[00:01:18] Bassoon flute and euphonium

[00:01:19] Each one making the most of his chance

[00:01:20] All together in the Floral Dance

[00:01:21] I felt so lonely standing there

[00:01:22] And I could only stand and stare

[00:01:24] For I had no boy with me

[00:01:24] Lonely I should have to be

[00:01:29] In that quaint old Cornish town

[00:01:31] When suddenly hast'ning down the lane

[00:01:33] A figure I knew I saw quite plain

[00:01:41] With outstretched hands he came along

[00:01:44] And carried me into that merry throng

[00:01:46] And fiddle and all went dancing town

[00:01:48] We danced to the band with the curious tone

[00:01:49] Of the cornet clarinet and big trombone

[00:01:52] Fiddle cello big bass drum

[00:02:12] Bassoon flute and euphonium

[00:02:15] Each one making the most of his chance

[00:02:18] All together in the Floral Dance

[00:02:22] Dancing here prancing there

[00:02:24] Jigging jogging everywhere

[00:02:25] Up and down and round the town

[00:02:26] Hurrah for the Cornish Floral Dance
