about

A song for Plough Monday. The chorus is taken from a medieval inscription carved into the plough gallery inside Cawston Church. The rest of the lyrics mix common treasury themes espoused in many a fine folk song.

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

"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
