about
BEING lately sung by the CROPPING MEN in the county of YORKSHIRE who, by wielding the MIGHTY ENOCH HAMMER, do make WAR on shear frames TEN SCORE more fierce than ee’r was made in FLANDERS, PORTUGAL AND SPAIN these past years. (To the traditional and customary tune).
lyrics
Come cropper lads of high renown,
Who love to drink strong ale that’s brown,
And strike each haughty tyrant down,
With hatchet, pike and gun!
Chorus
The Cropper Lads for me,
Right gallant lads they be,
Who with lusty stroke the shear frames broke,
The Cropper Lads for me!
What, though the special, still advance
And soldiers nightly round us prance,
These Cropper Lads shall lead the dance
With hatchet, pike and gun!
And night by night when all is still,
And the moon is hid behind the hill,
We forward march to do our will,
With hatchet, pike and gun!
Great Enoch still shall lead the ‘van,
Stop him who dares, stop him who can!
Press forward every gallant man,
With hatchet, pike and gun!
A low-down, seditious trio unearthing contemporary political resonances in the traditional music of England, Ireland,
Scotland and the US. Sweet harmonies of reason in a world deaf to exploitation. Songs to fan the flames of discontent and tell your boss to go to hell. We are all members of the IWW union. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Everett_massacre...more
