Down in Yon Forest (Roud 1523) is a version of the ancient Corpus Christi Carol. Also known as The Castleton Carol, this version was sung to Vaughan Willams by Mr J. Hall of Castleton, Derbyshire, in 1909.

lyrics

Down in yon forest there stands a hall
The bells of paradise I hear them ring
Things covered all over with purple and pall
And I love my Lord Jesus above anything

Down in that hall there is a bed
The bells of paradise I heard them ring
Pall scarlet the cover the cover it spread
And I love my Lord Jesus above anything

And on the bed there lays a knight
The bells of paradise I heard them ring
and he doth lead by day and by night
And I love my Lord Jesus above anything

Down under that bed there runneth a flood
The bells of paradise I heard them ring
The one half runs water, the other runs blood
And I love my Lord Jesus above anything

Down at the bed's foot there springs a thorn
The bells of paradise I heard them ring
The moon bids white blossom the day he was born
And I love my Lord Jesus above anything

And over that place the moon shines bright
The bells of paradise I heard them ring
To show that our saviour was born on that night
And I love my Lord Jesus above anything

"Bewitching and otherworldly... Morrison's voice is eerily confiding, strangely present, insistent even at its quietest" Folk Radio UK.

Believing in the beauty of sad songs, weaving folk, soul and beat sounds of the '60s into a tapestry of the human heart. Homespun sounds that reside in a nostalgic universe.

"Dark, unsettling folk that verges on the hymnal" BBC Introducing. ... more
