Go Little Swale (2006 Remaster) - Jake Thackray

作曲：Jake Thackray

Go lowly Swale go headlong down

Down through your stony-faced meadows

Your scowling hills your crouching towns

Go little Swale and I follow

The taciturn hill farmers patiently still

Are pacing their hillside

The po-faced sheep stare as they go

The pinafored women go day after day

Making their hay

Down by the river edge

Where wagtails are trotting

By Booze by Muker by Gunnerside

By Crackpot

Go little Swale go headlong down

Down through your stony-faced meadows

Your scowling hills your crouching towns

Go little Swale and I follow

The children are learning to leave you behind

Old men have time

To stare at the dead afternoons

The up-country bus takes them slowly

But surely Over the moorside

Over the poor bridges that hunch there

All crook-back

By Thwaite by Grinton by Healaugh

By Butter Tubs

Go little Swale go headlong down

Down through your stony-faced meadows

Your scowling hills your crouching towns

Go little Swale and I follow

Go lowly Swale go headlong down

Down through your stony-faced meadows

Your scowling hills your crouching towns

Go little Swale and I follow
