[Makes a false start by singing the first line to the melody of The Jolly Waggoner.]
Another year has passed away, time swiftly speeds along. We come again to praise and praise and sing our festive song. We come, we come, we come, we come with songs to greet you. We come, we come, we come, we come with songs of praise.
"That's first verse but there's some more. But, you know, half of these here I can't get to 'em on me own like, but when there's somebody leading you can follow."
The final phrase is in the top octave.

Down yonder green valley where streamlets meander when twilight is fading I pensively roam; Or up the bright moontide in solitude wander, amid the. dark shades of the lonely ash grove. 'Twas there while the blackbird was cheerfully singing, I first met that dear one, the joy of my heart. Around us for gladness the bluebells were springing, I then little thought how soon we should part.

Believe J.~e if All Those Endearing Young Charms

"I sing that to me wife."
Believe me, if all those endearing young charms, which I gaze on so fondly today, Were to change by tomorrOlv ar..d faqe in my arms like fairy gifts fading away,
.
Thou would still be adored, as this monent thou art, let thy loveliness fade as it will; And around the dear ruin each wish of my heart would entwine itself verdently still.
'Tis not whilst beauty and youth are thine own
. and thy cheeks unprofaned by a tear. That a fervour and [hesitates] faith of a soul is found as time will but show me more clear. For the heart that hath loved and never forgets but as truly loves unto the close, As the sunflower gave to her God when she set the same look that she gave when he rose.
Stanley compares his words with those in a printed song book and comments, "Mind you there's words not just the same as I sing in this book ••• Mind you I'm probably wrong, you see."
A Bird in a Gilded Cage (inc)

She's only a bird in a gilded cage, a beautiful sight to see. You may think she's happy and free fro~ care, but she's not what she seems to be. It's 'ard when you think of a wasted life, for youth can not mate with age. Her beauty was sold for an old man's gold, she's a bird in a gilded cage.

"Frank might 'ave sung you that one."
The shot and shell was screaming above yon battlefield, The boys in blue were fighting their noble flag to shield. Came a cry from their brave captain, Look boys our flag is down. Who'll volunteer to save it from disgrace? I will, a young boy shouted, I'll bring it back or die. Then sprang into the thickest of the fray.

He saved the flag but gave 'is young life, all for 'is country's sake, They brought 'im back and heard 'im softly say,
Just break the news to Mother, she knows 'ow dear I love 'er, And tell 'er not to wait for me for I'm not coming home. Just say there is no other can take the place of Mother, And kiss 'er dear sweet lips for me, and break the news to her.
From afar a note to the general that witnessed this brave deed; Who saved the flag, speak up lad, was noble brave indeed. It was 'im, Sir, said the captain, but 'e's sinking very fast, As 'e slowly turned away to hide a tear. The general in a moment knelt down beside the lad, Then gave a cry that touched all hearts that day. 'Tis my son, my brave young hero, I thought you safe at 'ome. Forgive me Father for I ran away.
And break the news to Mother, she knows 'ow dear I love 'er, And tell her not to wait forme for I'm not coming home. Just say there is no other can take the place of Mother, And kiss 'er dear sweet lips for me, and break the news to her.
"That's all of that one. But Frank' e knows some of that like, but I don't think 'e knows it quite all. There's a bit in t'verse 'e doesn't know."

o Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling ,. From glen to glen and down the mountainside. The summer's gone an'autumn leaves are falling, 'Tis you, 'tis you must go and I must bide; But come ye back when summer's in the meadow, Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow; And I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow, o Danny boy, 0 Danny boy, I love you so.
