lyrics

God speed the plough and send us ale corn
Enough our purpose for to make
At crow of cock of the plough late of Sygate
Be merry and glad what good ale this work has made

No bones for the plough No flint from the soil
Without Barleycorn no grist for the ale
A treasury ‘twas made not for one but for all
Bird, boar or hare enough and more for to spare

God speed the plough and send us ale corn
Enough our purpose for to make
At crow of cock of the plough late of Sygate
Be merry and glad what good work this ale has made

Here we make our stand ‘neath a gallery of souls
The yoke be cast aground no prisoners to the toil
Our reward redeemed in heaven and on the earth
Pleasure be fulfilled as we’re ploughed into the soil

God speed the plough and send us ale corn
Enough our purpose for to make

What an amazing album. Each track is pure gold - mystical auditory alchemy. It is almost impossible to pick a favorite track though the Bedlam Boys interpretation of the 1720 ballad, Mad Maudlin's Search for Her Tom of Bedlam, is utterly spellbinding. Þórbeorht Hláford
