This is one of my favourite Steeleye Span songs - especially the bits in the middle when it goes literally off with the faeries...

Excellent Pam... Thank you.

The Cutty Wren #1

* (Trad)

Oh where are you going, said Milder to Moulder

Oh we may not tell you said Festel to Fose

We´re off to the wood, said John the Red Nose

We´re off to the wood, said John the Red Nose

And what will you do, said Milder to Moulder

For we may not tell you, said Festel to Fose

We´ll shoot the cutty wren, said John the Red Nose

We´ll shoot the cutty wren, said John the Red Nose

Oh how will you cut him up, said Milder to Moulder

Oh we may not tell you, said Festel to Fose

With knives and with forks , said John the Red Nose

With knives and with forks , said John the Red Nose

And who´ll get the spare ribs said Milder to Moulder

Oh we may not tell you, said Festel to Fose

We´ll give them all to the poor, said John the Red Nose

We´ll give them all to the poor, said John the Red Nose
