[RenRose] Renegade Rose Lake O dance out and pub (need a muso)

[Linda G]

It's the solstice on top of that.
Your (not squirrely) fore would like to trot out a few things
Oak and Ash! oh yeah, which is basically a moulton dance -- Quick synopsis
below

Wellerman (words and figures below) Adderbury

As well as some of our basic stuff most likely
So Australia
and Windlass (for our sea set)
Valentine
and some other basics to continue to get Larissa up to speed.
L

Oak and Ash
Figures:
Dance in, on the chorus which we may dispense with.
J's inward and outward
Box tops, Box bottoms, BTB
Diagonal hey and then  shunts: # 3 faces up; #4 faces down for first shunt,
reverse for second
Grand hey and reverse

Chorus is standard mouton chorus doubled; sticking as in coalface.

The Wellerman ( you can get the basic tune off youtube)

Foot up and up

There once was a ship that put to sea
The name of the ship was the Billy O' Tea
The winds blew up, her bow dipped down
Oh blow, my bully boys, blow (huh)



Ch

Soon may the Wellerman come
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
One day, when the tonguing is done
We'll take our leave and go



Half G

She'd not been two weeks from shore
When down on her a right whale bore
The captain called all hands and swore
He'd take that whale in tow (huh)



Chorus



Process up

Before the boat had hit the water
The whale's tail came up and caught her
All hands to the side, harpooned and fought her
When she dived down low (huh)



Ch



Hands round

No line was cut, no whale was freed
The captain's mind was not of greed
And he belonged to the Whaleman's creed
She took that ship in tow (huh)



Ch



Process Down

For forty days or even more
The line went slack then tight once more
All boats were lost, there were only four
But still that whale did go (huh)



Ch



Hey

As far as I've heard, the fight's still on
The line's not cut, and the whale's not gone
The Wellerman makes his regular call
To encourage the captain, crew and all (huh)



Soon may the Wellerman come
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
One day, when the tonguing is done
We'll take our leave and go

Soon may the Wellerman come
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
One day, when the tonguing is done
We'll take our leave and go
