A Calling-On Song

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Good people, pray heed a petition Your attention we beg and crave And if you are inclined for to listen An abundance of pastime we'll have [Verse 2] We have come to relate many stories Concerning our forefathers' time And we trust they will drive out your worries Of this we are all in one mind [Verse 3] Many tales of the poor and the gentry Of labor and love will arise There are no finer songs in this country In Scotland or Ireland likewise [Verse 4] There's one thing more need be mentioned The dances are danced all in fun So now you've heard our intention We'll play on to the beat of the drum
