the cricketers of hambledon - peter warlock lyrics

Loading...

i’ll make a song of hambledon, and sing it at “the george”
of b*lls that flew from beldham’s bat like sparks from fennex’ forge;
the centuries of aylward, and a thousand guineas bet
and sueter keeping wicket to the thunderbolts of brett

then up with every glass and we’ll sing a toast in chorus:
“the cricketers of hambledon who played the game before us
the stalwarts of the olden time who rolled a lonely down
and made thе king of games for men, with hambledon thе crown.”

although they sang the nights away, their afternoons were spent
in beating men of hertfordshire and flogging men of kent
and when the flow’r of england fell to taylor and his peers
the fame of hambledonians went ringing down the years

the sun has left broadhalfpenny, and the moon rides overhead;
so pass the bottle round again for drinking to the dead
to small and his companions all who gathered, lose or win
to take their fill of nyren’s best when nyren kept the inn
