Carshalton Straw Jack

Music

We use a mix of traditional music and straight percussion to march Jack about the streets.
We hope to have more music at the stops in future and here are the dots for the only 'Carshalton' tune we have found so far..

 

Joy, health, love and peace Be all here in this place. By your leave we will sing Concerning our King.
Our King is well dressed, In silks of the best, In ribbons so rare, No king can compare.
We have travelled many miles, Over hedges and stiles, In search of our King, Unto you we bring.
We have powder and shot, To conquer the lot. We have cannon and ball, To conquer them all.
Old Christmas is past, Twelfth Night is the Last. And we bid you adieu, Great joy to the new.
