DOWN AMONG THE DEAD MEN / CUT AND SHUT HORNPIPE
(Trad. Arr: Lee Richardson, David Delarre / composed by Nicholas Cooke, Danny Crump)
A toast to the roman god Bacchus - the god of wine, spiritual ecstasy, ritual madness and theatre – these are a few of our favourite things… to quote wikipedia "Dead men" is a term for empty bottles and the expression to "lie down among the dead men" means to get so drunk as to slip from one's chair and land under the table where the empty bottles have been discarded. The band wishes not to comment.
lyrics
Here's a health to the Queen, and a lasting peace,
May factions end and wealth increase.
Come let's drink it while we have breath,
For there's no drinking after death.
And he that will this health deny,
And he that will this health deny;
Down down, down, down,
Down among the dead men, Down among the dead men,
Down down, down, down,
Down among the dead men let them lie.
Let charming beauty's health go round,
With whom celestial joys are found,
And may confusion yet pursue
That senseless wimin-hating crew; ——WOOO WOOOO—
In, smiling Bacchus' joys I'll roll,
Deny no pleasure to my soul;
Let- his health round briskly move,
The God of wine and friend of Love.
And he that will this health deny
And he that will this health deny
Down down, down, down,
Down among the dead men, Down among the dead men,
Down down, down, down,
Down among the dead men let them lie.
Down down, down, down,
Down among the dead men, Down among the dead men,
Down down, down, down,
Down among the dead men let them lie.
May love and wine their rites maintain,
And their united pleasures reign,
While Bacchus's treasure crowns the board,
We'll sing the joys that both afford;
And they that won't with us comply,
Down down, down, down,
Down among the dead men, Down among the dead men,
Down down, down, down,
Down among the dead men let them lie.

Three of the most talented folk/roots/acoustic artists currently at the very top of their game. Spoiler alert; is Spanish Lady actually about Catherine of Aragon or have I been reading too much Hilary Mantel? ***** bass_campdelta
Beautifully played and full of moving vocal performances, the Bay Area singer/songwriter's latest is a stellar work of art. Bandcamp Album of the Day Feb 3, 2023
