about

BEING a DISCOURSE on the circumstances of WANT AND HUNGER that do lately afflict this LAND OF ENGLAND, and a lament on the fate of them that are return’d from the wars and also their families. (To the traditional and customary tune).

lyrics

Come all brother tradesman who travel along,
Oh pray wont you tell me where the trade has all gone,
Long time I have travelled, I cannot find none,

Chorus:
And it's all the hard times of old England,
In England very hard times.

You go to a shop for provisions it's true,
But you've got no money so there's none there for you,
What's a poor man and his family to do?

You see that poor tradesman a-walking the street,
Goes back and goes forth for employment to seek,
And barely are there any shoes on his feet.

Our soldiers and sailors been fighting at war,
Been dying for King and Country this year,
Come home to be starved, better stay where they were.

And so to conclude and to finish my song,
I'll pray that these hard times don't last very long,
And soon may have occasion to change my song.

Last Chorus:
And it's all the good times of old England,
In England very good times.

about

12 Dead in Everett image

12 Dead in Everett England, UK

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.
