《The Floral Dance》歌词

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

[00:00:13] 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

[00:00:20] Into the sweet and scented air

[00:00:22] Of a quaint old Cornish town

[00:00:29] Borne from afar on the gentle breeze

[00:00:31] Joining the murmur of the summer seas

[00:00:33] Distant tones of an old world dance

[00:00:36] Played by the village band perchance

[00:00:38] On the calm air came floating down

[00:00:51] I thought I could hear the curious tone

[00:00:53] Of the cornet clarinet and big trombone

[00:00:55] Fiddle cello big bass drum

[00:00:58] Bassoon flute and euphonium

[00:01:00] Far away as in a trance

[00:01:03] I heard the sound of the Floral Dance

[00:01:09] And soon I heard such a bustling and prancing

[00:01:11] And then I saw the whole village was dancing

[00:01:13] In and out of the houses they came

[00:01:15] Old folk young folk all the same

[00:01:17] In that quaint old Cornish town

[00:01:24] Every boy took a girl around the waist

[00:01:25] And hurried her off in tremendous haste

[00:01:27] Whether they knew one another I care not

[00:01:30] Whether they cared at all I know not

[00:01:32] But they kissed as they danced along

[00:01:43] And there was the band with that curious tone

[00:01:46] Of the cornet clarinet and big trombone

[00:01:48] Fiddle cello big bass drum

[00:01:50] Bassoon flute and euphonium

[00:01:52] Each one making the most of his chance

[00:01:55] All together in the Floral Dance

[00:02:11] I felt so lonely standing there

[00:02:14] And I could only stand and stare

[00:02:17] For I had no baby with me

[00:02:19] Lonely I should have to be

[00:02:21] In that quaint old Cornish town

[00:02:28] When suddenly hast'ning down the lane

[00:02:30] A figure I knew I saw quite plain

[00:02:32] With outstretched hands she rushed along

[00:02:33] And carried me into that merry throng

[00:02:36] And fiddle and all went dancing down

[00:02:46] We danced to the band with the curious tone

[00:02:49] Of the cornet clarinet and big trombone

[00:02:51] Fiddle cello big bass drum

[00:02:53] Bassoon flute and euphonium

[00:02:55] Each one making the most of his chance

[00:02:57] Altogether in the Floral Dance

[00:02:59] Dancing here prancing there

[00:03:01] Jigging jogging everywhere

[00:03:03] Up and down and round the town

[00:03:06] Hurrah for the Cornish Floral Dance
